As written by the client…

“ I chose to study a Social Work degree because I am a caring person and want to help people to further their current life situation if that is possible in their life story.

I have a good sense of humour; I tend to laugh at my struggles so I need someone that will also laugh at them.

I like to try new recipes when cooking and baking. I need support with this but want to try and be as independent as possible. I like to watch films, true crime documentaries, medical dramas like Grey’s Anatomy.

I may want to spend some time alone so as long as you are reachable either by phone or text, you can do your own thing.”

- A valid UK Driving License (Essential)
