About Our Client:

Our client has recently graduated in Business Management with Economics and is now working part-time from home in a Digital Marketing role. He is a big fan of Wheelchair Rugby and trains several times a week, as well as matches on weekends. He enjoys socializing with friends, going into London, watching football, and listening to music from all genres.

Our client has a condition called Hurlers Syndrome, which affects the lower part of his body, causing weakness in his legs; therefore, he is a full-time manual wheelchair user. With good upper body strength, our client is able to self-propel, which enables him to maintain his independence.

As written by him …

“I’m looking for a Personal Assistant (PA) to help me with care needs, whilst living and working from home. My interests are mostly sport-related. I love watching football (Liverpool FC!), I play wheelchair rugby, basketball, and train at the gym up to 3 times a week. I also enjoy socializing at the pub and fancy watching a few games at the local football stadium. I’m also a keen gamer and play PS5 regularly. I have quite a dry sense of humour and want someone who can give a bit of banter too.”
