About our client

Our client will soon be finishing their 1st year studying Business and Management at Kent University in Canterbury. They have Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and use an electric powered wheelchair for mobility.

Our client has specific needs and will be happy to assist in instructions with daily tasks. They have a restricted diet due to allergies. Some of their interests include football, Star Wars, and stand-up comedy. They are looking for a person to assist them in their journey throughout university life. This may include encouraging the client to go to seminars, social events, clubs, sporting events etc.

As written by our client…

"Before uni I spent 5 years at a special residential school with a small peer group so I was really looking forward to being as independent as possible and meeting new people.I am really proud to have lived independently since last September but my 1st year has been socially quite challenging. I have struggled to attend lectures due to my fatigue and anxiety; or find accessible social activities. I am looking for someone who can proactively support me to develop this aspect of my university life".

"I’m a huge fan of the Star Wars franchise and also like Marvel and DC. I’m also a lover of sports - mainly football but also basketball, rugby, tennis etc."

"I am looking for someone who can be flexible. I have no idea what each day at university will be like but one of the things I value most from having my care team is the ability to be spontaneous. I may decide with relatively short notice to spend time at home in Surbiton, or elsewhere and I would need you to travel with me."

"You will be given plenty of training and I will always let you know if I want something done differently. It will take time for you to become familiar with everything so don’t worry about making mistakes."
