PA Required to assist young person attend university – Newport to Southampton

Summary
I am going to Solent University to Study for 3 years and need a Personal Assistant to support me to achieve this.
I have heart failure; I can walk but need to have breaks. I struggle to go upstairs due to getting breathless, so need to use lifts when available.
I am autistic and can self-harm. When I am anxious I need lots of reassurance and support.
I have allergies and cannot eat nuts, eggs, bananas and kiwi.
I have no awareness of danger especially when crossing the roads so need assistance with this to keep me safe.
I would like a Personal assistant to be kind, understanding, supportive and patient.

I will need my PA to administer my EpiPen if I need it, this is very rare. My mum will train you if needed
I will need my PA to look after my mobile phone when in lectures, so I can concentrate on the lesson.
My PA would need to make sure that I am listening and participating in the lectures.
I would like my PA to be a non-smoker, as I can be susceptible to infection.

My PA will need to meet me at my home in Newport and travel with me in a Taxi to the Red-Jet and then a Taxi from the ferry to Solent University. I will need my PA to stay with me on the Campus and in lectures.
The same would have to happen on the return journey to Newport.
