AskJules are agents for young disabled adults who choose to employ Personal Assistants to provide their care and support.

I am looking to employ a Personal Assistant to support with my personal, social and domestic needs.

I am a 23-year-old female and I have Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 2 which has profoundly weakened my voluntary muscles. As a result, I am a full-time powered wheelchair user, my respiratory system is compromised and the majority or my nutrition is met via a gastrostomy.

I have just completed my final year at the University of Sussex studying MSci chemistry.

Now I have finished university I will be living at home with my Mum, Dad, and dog. I love being outdoors and spend a lot of my time in the summer visiting National Trust parks and zoos. I am a massive Disney, Disneyland Paris, LEGO and musicals fan! I also enjoy music, my favourite bands being The Script, McFly and The Vamps. I enjoy baking and crafting using my smart cutting machine. I also enjoy shopping and going to the cinema.

I am going to be looking for a job/graduate scheme, hopefully in the medicinal chemistry/drug discovery field and will need PAs to support me in work and be able to drive my Motability wheelchair accessible vehicle.
