As written by him..

Its important that you are a good communicator, because this is key to a solid working relationship, especially whilst we get into a routine. It is also important you are open minded as I am part of the LGBTQ community. Im also part of sailing and football clubs and will need taking to these practices so an ability to get along with a range of people is essential. Although attending events for sports and art exhibitions can sometimes involve extra support, I am actually very independent and need someone that will respect and promote this.
