About our Client
Our client values independence, freedom of choice and is looking forward to the next chapter of her life after university. Our client’s ideal PA should be friendly, respectful of her privacy, supportive, and willing to help her maintain an active social life while encouraging her independence.
As written by the client…
“Communication and a robust personality are key for me. I like to have control over my life and hence do not like excessive “mothering”.
It’s important that you are willing to help me socialise and accompany me to concerts, to the theatre, dinner with friends etc.
I need someone who will respect my privacy because sometimes I will want to be alone or with friends.
As I live at home currently you will have a lot of free time in the day as I like to be independent, although I will occasionally require you to come out with me etc, but this is more rare at home as I only need a companion when using public transport and I go out alone in my current neighbourhood frequently.
I know this may all sound quite overwhelming, but we will work together and I will help and guide you with how I want things done. If something isn’t working for either of us we can talk through it.”

You are unlikely to have experience in every aspect of our client's care therefore full training in her particular needs is provided. We are looking for applicants who have:
* Friendly and understanding demeanour
* Respectful of the client's privacy and space
* Able to follow instructions to a tee
* Take constructive feedback in a positive manor
* A mature and responsible attitude
