About Our Client
Our client is a Zoology Graduate who has finished her degree at the University of Reading.
She has a diagnosis of Athetoid Cerebral Palsy and is a full-time wheelchair user. The client leads a very active social life by meeting up with friends and family. She enjoys going to the cinema, karaoke bars and watching sci-fi shows such as Doctor Who.
With a joyful and delightful persona, as well as a good sense of humour, our client enjoys going out to various social events.
As written by her...
Hi, I have Athetoid Cerebral Palsy, and I use an electric wheelchair. Everything I can do; I will do myself and I do not like asking for help. As a result, I often hint at things I want doing instead of actually asking. I can sometimes get grumpy and down when I am tired and in pain but will get back to my chirpy self fairly quickly.
I like to look my best, so hair and makeup is a passion of mine. I am also interested in nature and animals, and thus, will always take the opportunity to watch a David Attenborough documentary. This is why I love my Zoology degree!
The things Im looking for in a new P.A. is someone with things in common with me, someone who takes initiative, and most of all, someone with a sense of humour.
I have a pet bearded dragon called Dumbles (coz she a bearded dragon ??), so the job will involve feeding her and the crickets veg, feeding her the live crickets etc and just getting her out to have a cuddle!
I can get socially anxious however, so will need some gentle encouragement when meeting new people. Someone that can help drive the car would be great, as public transport isnt the most accessible option. Again, if youre driving, you will be insured on my car through 3rd party insurance.
I hope this has given you the chance to see if the job is right for you and I hope to hear from you soon
