I need someone who understands that my disability is something that I live with – it is not WHO I am. The support you will provide is critical for me to be able to live life to the full, so I am looking for someone who is super reliable and wants to do this job for the whole academic year.

· Strong organisational skills to handle a busy schedule.

· A proactive individual with good initiative.

· A can-do attitude and a willingness to learn.

· Excellent Microsoft office skills (Mac user experience would be an advantage).

Key Responsibilities:

· You may be required to accompany me to lectures and seminars and take notes.

· Assist me with essays and exam writing as study support.

· Accompany me on academic and extracurricular activities/trips, i.e., sports matches.

· Manage a diary for a busy schedule and support with email correspondence.

· Accompany me to appointments and meetings (minutes will need to be taken during all meetings).

· Support me during presentations and other speaking opportunities – you will need to be comfortable with public speaking.

· Opportunity if wanted to work at my family home near Winchester during holidays/reading weeks (all expenses covered).
