As written by the client:
“This September I will going to Chichester University to study Medieval History. I am
an independent person who values having choice and control over my day-to-day
life. I'm looking for a Personal Assistant (PA) who can support me to make the most
of university life while respecting my independence. I appreciate someone who
knows when to step in to help and when to take a step back, allowing me to do as
much as I can for myself.
I want someone who can encourage me to step outside my comfort zone when
appropriate while always respecting my choices and helping me remain as
independent as possible.
I enjoy watching sports, particularly football. I'm also interested in history, and I'm
hoping to explore this interest further while I'm at university. I'm keen to experience
new activities and make the most of student life.”
