If the student is funded by their local authority, and if the authority operates
something called Direct Payments, then I know an organisation which can help.
Southampton Centre for Independent Living - tel 01703 330982
This organisation provides a register of Personal Assistants who are looking to
assist a disabled person, and the disabled person pays them via their Direct
payment money and becomes their employer (choosing the person they want to
employ etc.)
I hope this helps.
best wishes
