This is paid employment under the collective agreement for the private social services sector, and 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 combined with another job or studies. You do not need specific training for the 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 you will never be left alone with your concerns or questions. 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, carrying out tasks the client would do independently but cannot manage alone because of a disability or illness. The assistant helps with everyday activities both at home and outside the home. Assistance often involves ordinary daily tasks that we all do in our own lives. The work therefore does not include duties that require a separate qualification, such as practical nurse training; anyone can work as an assistant. Tasks may include helping the client go shopping, spend time outdoors, eat or prepare food, get dressed, take part in hobbies, or manage household chores. WHO IS SUITED TO BE AN ASSISTANT? As an employer of several hundred personal assistants, we have found 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 comfortable working with people. You do not need previous experience in similar work. Every new assistant receives comprehensive orientation at Aarre Avustajat' own Aarre Academy before starting. Experience or training in assistance and 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 choose how much and when you work and which client you work with. We aim to match our clients' needs for assistance with our assistants' preferences so that the arrangement suits everyone. You can always meet a prospective new client before beginning the arrangement. If something does not work as you expected, we can look together for a suitable alternative. You may work as an assistant for as many clients as you wish. APPLYING Recruitment is ongoing, so please complete the application form carefully. Remember to list all the municipalities where you are able to work, so we can contact you as soon as we find a suitable client. Completing the form does not commit you to anything. Anyone hired as a personal assistant must provide the employer with a criminal record extract issued within the previous six months before starting work. The applicant must request the extract electronically from the Legal Register Centre. Welcome to our great team! APPLY TO AARRE AVUSTAJAT!
