You’ll support him in travelling to training sessions and matches throughout the university year. Away from sport, he enjoys Warhammer strategy games, Pokémon TCG, and exploring new places.

Your role will cover all aspects of daily life, ensuring his comfort, independence, and quality of life.
As written by the client…
“I have Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which causes muscle fatigue and tightness over time. Tasks can take me longer, so I need someone who’s patient, understanding, and respectful of my independence.
I’m a huge LCFC fan and love watching football—whether it’s on TV, at the pub, or live at matches. I train powerchair football weekly and attend league meetings (6 times a year) and regionals (7 Sundays a year). I love going out—meals, clubbing, concerts, theatre, and hanging out with friends.
I’m looking for a PA who is respectful of my privacy and flexible with plans. Friendly, joyful, and reserved with a good sense of humour. I know this might sound overwhelming, but we’ll work together.”
Our Ideal PA will:
- Hold a Valid UK Driving Licence (Essential)
- Hold a valid Passport with a willingness to travel across Europe (Desirable)
- Willing to organise and attend events such as Football matches, Formula 1, Festivals and other large scale events
- Caring and patient in nature
- Reliable and trustworthy
- A strong communicator
- Have a great sense of humour
