About our Client
Our client is a Zoology graduate who is currently looking for her first job role after finishing her undergraduate degree in September 2025. She has a diagnosis of Athetoid Cerebral Palsy and is a full-time wheelchair user. Her many hobbies include anything to do with animals, eating out and cinema visits. The client leads a very active life by looking for a full-time job and meeting up with friends and family. With a joyful and delightful persona, as well as a good sense of humour, our client enjoys going out to social events, such as theatre and cinema trips as well as just staying in and watching TV.
As written by her... I am interested in nature and animals and will always take the opportunity to watch a David Attenborough documentary, as well as having our own supply of animals (2 dogs, and a horse). I am a very social person, and now that I have finished my degree, I take every opportunity to go out and have fun. I can get socially anxious however, so will need some gentle encouragement when meeting new people. Saying this, I like to go to the pub, theatre, cinema, to eat out and to see friends. I equally like just staying in and watching a bingeable series. Looking my best is important to me, so a willingness to do hair and makeup is required.
I have finally finished the four years of my Zoology degree at the University of Reading and am looking for my next adventure career-wise. As I need someone on call 24/7, the day is split up into two 12-hour shifts. During the Day Shift, I will eventually need help travelling to the workplace as well as help once we're there. During the Night Shift, I am partial to a late night but when I get a job this will have to stop. I will still attend theatre trips and meet up with friends when I can!

- To be physically fit, calm, patient and caring
