About Our Client
Our client is a bubbly, creative individual passionate about Literature and Theatre, as well as performing. She enjoys reading, writing, and music (Pop, Indie, and musical theatre). She plans to join university societies such as the Drama Society, Musical Theatre, and Playwriting Society. A team of PAs who share similar interests would be a bonus.
Our client's family home is in Northumberland; she hopes to visit during off‑term time and would welcome PAs who are flexible to travel back home with her.
She seeks a PA who demonstrates compassion, discretion and patience, is a good listener, and understands that the role may be awkward at first. She also hopes for supporters who can engage in her interests, encourage independence, and explore activities beyond the campus, including swimming and social outings.

* Be enthusiastic in helping her make the most of her university experience.
* Communicate openly and be unafraid of asking questions or exploring different routines.
* Be patient, kind and reasonable.
* Understand (and preferably share!) our client's sense of humour.
* Take initiative while respecting her autonomy.
* Be a good listener.
* Non‑smoker.
* Be able to tolerate her constant bursts into song.
* Hold a clean driving licence (desirable but not essential).
