Your needs
Clients tell us what they want and AskJules finds it. Understandably, the biggest ASK is always for quality care and support staff.We are direct in our approach. We bring a robust edge to our work that will help you move forward with greater confidence.
We enjoy what we do and our continued success is directly linked to your success.As well as, for the most part, recruiting more suitable Personal Assistants (PAs) more quickly, clients obtain superior levels of care and support at a price that could not be achieved using conventional methods.
Student support
You can recruit and employ your own PAs who are qualified to provide both student support and personal care while you study!
Traditionally Student Support Workers who assist you while at university are supplied through the university and are not chosen by you. They are limited to only assisting you with academic support and would not include any personal and practical care that you may need, such as helping you at lunch time or between lectures.
AskJules Student Support helps you recruit and employ these study buddies and note takers, experienced graduates who are able to support you academically and personally along the way. It's your choice!
