This is paid employment in accordance with the private social services collective agreement and suits 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 work can also be combined with another job or studies. You do not need special training for assistant work; the right attitude and reliability are the most important qualities of an excellent personal assistant. 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—that is our promise. WHAT IS PERSONAL ASSISTANCE AND WHAT DOES AN ASSISTANT DO? Personal assistance is a service in which the personal assistant acts as the client’s hands and feet, carrying out activities the client would do independently but cannot manage alone because of a disability or illness. The purpose of a personal assistant is to help the client with everyday tasks both at home and outside the home. Assistance tasks are often ordinary daily activities that we all do in our own lives. The assistant’s work therefore does not include tasks requiring separate qualifications, such as practical nurse training; anyone can work as an assistant. Tasks may include helping the client shop, go outdoors, eat or prepare food, get dressed, take part in hobbies or manage household tasks. 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 become personal assistants. An assistant should be reliable, positive, helpful, diligent and people-oriented. You do not need previous relevant work experience, because every new assistant receives comprehensive induction at Aarre Avustajat’ own Aarre Academy before starting. Experience or education in assistance and care may nevertheless 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 until evening. At Aarre Avustajat, you can influence how much and when you work and which kind of client you assist. We try to match our clients’ assistance needs with our assistants’ work preferences so that the arrangements suit everyone. You can always meet a potential new client before the client relationship begins. If you feel that something is not working as you expected, we can look together for a suitable alternative. If you wish, you can work as an assistant for as many clients as you like. 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 that we can contact you as soon as we find a suitable client. Completing 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 issued less than six months earlier before starting work. The applicant must request the extract electronically from the Legal Register Centre. Welcome to our wonderful team! APPLY TO WORK AT AARRE AVUSTAJAT!
