This is paid employment in accordance with the collective agreement for the private social services sector, and is suitable for someone seeking full-time, part-time, occasional or gig work. As a personal assistant, you can decide how much and when you work, so the role also suits someone alongside another job or studies. You do not need special education for assistant work; the right attitude and reliability are the most important qualities of an excellent personal assistant. At Aarre Avustajat, you receive continuous support and guidance from your own staff member and will never be left alone with your concerns or questions—we promise. 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 activities the client would do themselves but cannot manage alone because of a disability or illness. The purpose of a personal assistant is to help the client with everyday tasks at home and outside the home. Assistance tasks are often ordinary daily activities that we all do in our own lives. The work therefore does not include tasks requiring separate qualifications, such as a practical nurse qualification; anyone can work as an assistant. Tasks may include helping the client with shopping, outdoor activities, meals or cooking, dressing, hobbies or 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 be personal assistants. An assistant should be reliable, positive, helpful, hardworking and personable. You do not need previous similar work experience, because every new assistant receives comprehensive onboarding at Aarre Avustajat’s own Aarre Academy before starting work. Experience or education in assistance and care can be useful with some clients. WHAT SHIFTS ARE AVAILABLE, AND CAN I INFLUENCE THEM? Personal assistance takes place 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 what kind of client you want to support. We aim to match our clients’ assistance needs with our assistants’ work preferences so they suit everyone. You can always meet a prospective new client before starting the client relationship. If you feel that something is not working as you expected, we can look together for an option that suits you. If you wish, you can work as an assistant for as many clients as you want. APPLYING Our 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. Filling in the application form does not commit you to anything. A person hired as a personal assistant must provide the employer with a criminal record extract that is less than six months old before starting work. The applicant requests the extract electronically from the Legal Register Centre. Welcome to our wonderful team! APPLY TO WORK AT AARRE AVUSTAJAT!
