Personal Assistant

Join us in creating your life story with Avustajasi Validia Oy! We are now looking for personal assistants in Hämeenlinna. What would meaningful and valuable work with working hours that suit you sound like? Would you like to gain a perspective on care work, or are you looking for something to do during retirement in calm circumstances, one client at a time? Join us! As a personal assistant, you become part of our clients’ valuable stories. At Validia, personal assistance clients are people covered by disability services. Personal assistance is support provided at home or outside the home with things a person cannot manage independently because of an illness or disability. Assistance may mean supporting hobbies or studies, household tasks, or making leisure activities possible. Sometimes the assistant’s most important task is to be a conversation partner and companion: an unhurried person for another person. The personal assistant has an important role in the client’s everyday life. The aim is to support and enable living at home for as long as possible and to offer the opportunity for an active and meaningful everyday life in which the client’s right to self-determination is respected. The work suits you if you want variety and flexibility: tasks are carried out according to each client’s needs and wishes. You can also influence the timing of your shifts by agreeing on them with the client. You work independently and commit to agreed practices. An open attitude and your own personality go a long way! Thanks to the flexibility, the work can suit students and retirees looking for extra income. We do not require sector-specific education or work experience, but these are considered an advantage. What we offer Pay under the collective agreement: Private Social Services collective agreement, pay grade G16A Flexible working hours An opportunity to learn about disability work and the care sector Induction tailored to your skills Support from a skilled work community with a sense of humour The opportunity to find employment in other social and healthcare roles through further studies What we hope from you Genuine interest in assistance work A positive and cheerful attitude Willingness to learn new things and develop in your work Sufficient Finnish language skills; other language skills are an advantage We require vaccination protection under section 48 of the Communicable Diseases Act and a tuberculosis assessment under section 55.
