About Our Client

Our client is a motivated and sociable graduate living with Cerebral Palsy and a visual impairment. He is a full-time wheelchair user who values independence and autonomy, and is very comfortable directing his care.

He's passionate about sports (especially Leeds United) and previously played wheelchair basketball and tennis. He's now planning to get back into the gym and enjoys discussing politics, history, and current affairs. Actively involved in local politics, he's a member of Labour's Regional Executive Committee and plans to stand in the 2026 Leeds Council elections.

As written by him:

"First of all, thank you for taking the time to apply for this position. I need support with most physical tasks including with most personal care tasks, washing, dressing, and transfers to and from equipment.

It is however important that things are done with me, instead of for me wherever possible. I am very comfortable directing people in these circumstances. It is very important to me that the person/people I work with understand my wishes to have as much independence/autonomy as is possible and do not feel the need to take decisions on my behalf.

I have many interests including most sports, I am a season ticket holder for Leeds United and enjoy watching many sports. I had previously played both wheelchair basketball and tennis, and now university has concluded looking to resume a gym program.

Now I have completed my degree in Politics- I turn my attention to a career within active politics- I have been a member of the Labour party for 6 years and am on the approved list of candidates heading into the 2026 council elections. Therefore, as a PA role this will require you to accompany me to a large amount of door knocking and speaking with voters."
