About Our Client
Our client is a 20 year-old university student, currently studying English Literature at Leeds Beckett University. They live with Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, which profoundly weakens three of her limbs, meaning everyday tasks such as navigating campus and travelling become a challenge. Our client needs full-time comprehensive support to help meet their needs, including assisting her with mobility, personal care and general support. You will support our client at home on a live-in basis in Headingley, and will be required to provide daily support at home in Ilkley over the holidays.
As well as being a book-lover, our client loves to get out and about, including going to restaurants, gigs and the cinema to name a few!
As written by the client
Reading, listening to music, and collecting records are my passions, and it would be amazing to find a PA who shares these interests and understands the challenges I face due to my Quadriplegic cerebral palsy.
Living with cerebral palsy means that I have difficulties accessing certain things compared to the average person. Transportation is a challenge for me, and I may need assistance getting around. Additionally, putting on some items of clothing in the morning can be a struggle. That's why I rely on a PA to help me with these tasks and ensure my comfort and independence.
Beyond the practical aspects of the role, it would be truly wonderful if you share my interests in reading and music. We could spend time discussing literature, recommending books to each other, or simply enjoying music together.
