This is paid employment under the collective agreement for the private social services sector. It suits people looking for full-time, part-time, occasional or gig work. As a personal assistant, you decide how much and when you work, so the job can also be done alongside another job or studies. You do not need special education for assistant work; the right attitude and reliability are the most important qualities. At Aarre Avustajat, you receive ongoing support and guidance from your own staff contact and will not be left alone with your questions or concerns. WHAT IS PERSONAL ASSISTANCE AND WHAT DOES AN ASSISTANT DO? Personal assistance is a service in which the assistant acts as the client’s hands and feet, helping with activities the client would do independently but cannot manage alone because of a disability or illness. The assistant helps the client with everyday tasks at home and outside the home. The duties are often ordinary everyday activities that we all do in our own lives. The work does not include tasks requiring a separate qualification, such as a practical nurse qualification; anyone can work as an assistant. Duties may include helping the client go shopping, go outdoors, eat or prepare food, get dressed, take part in hobbies or manage household chores. WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS SUITABLE TO BE AN ASSISTANT? As an employer of several hundred personal assistants, we can say that people with the right attitude towards this important work are best suited to the role. An assistant should be reliable, positive, helpful, hardworking and good with people. You do not need previous experience in similar work. Every new assistant receives comprehensive induction at Aarre Avustajat’s own Aarre Academy before starting. Experience or education in assistance or care may be useful with some clients. WHAT SHIFTS ARE AVAILABLE, AND CAN I INFLUENCE THEM? Personal assistance is provided on weekdays and weekends, and shifts are often available from morning to evening. At Aarre Avustajat, you can decide how much and when you want to work and which client you assist. We aim to match our clients’ need for assistance with our assistants’ work preferences so that the arrangement suits everyone. You can always meet a prospective new client before the client relationship begins. If something does not work as you expected, we can look for a suitable alternative together. If you wish, you can assist as many clients as you like. APPLYING Our recruitment is ongoing, so please complete the application form carefully. Remember to list all municipalities where you are able to work so that we can contact you as soon as we find a suitable client. Completing the application form does not commit you to anything.
