ABOUT US:

AskJules was founded in 2010 and is a family owned private limited company who provide a Lifestyle Management service.

With our support students are able to employ their own Personal Assistants (PAs) to provide their personal, health and social care as well as their academic support at university.

Students and their families choose AskJules because we provide a personal, efficient and comprehensive service; from the recruitment and management of PAs to bank and budget management and everything in-between.

AskJules has grown from its small beginnings to being a recognised alternative way for young disabled adults who are in receipt of Personal Budgets (PB) or Personal Health Budgets (PHB) to live independently and receive the care and support they want.
