Practical Nurse

Rinnekodit is a workplace that supports the holistic well-being of its employees. We are building together an appreciative and equal work culture where everyone has the opportunity to develop. We are now looking for several practical nurses for permanent employment due to an increased number of clients. Welcome to Rinnekodit Maurinkoti! Rinnekodit opened a new unit in Helsinki, on the shore of Herttoniemi in the summer of 2024, providing housing services for adults with intellectual disabilities. Maurinkoti's clients need strong support in all daily matters and in supporting the realization of their right to self-determination. The location of the Herttoniemi site is excellent. Our unit, located in beautiful scenery by the sea, has a total of 35 client places. Task and its goals: As a practical nurse, you are in a key role in identifying the individual needs of clients and ensuring high-quality care. You work with a professional approach, respecting the client's right to self-determination and meeting them appreciatively. Your job description consists of supporting and maintaining our residents' functional capacity, basic care, possible medication, reporting, and supporting holistic well-being. Your presence is important - genuine encounter with the client and supporting communication are a significant part of your task. The unit is divided into two floors (4th and 5th floor), for residents with more severe care needs and for more functional residents. In working with the residents of the 4th floor, care, operating with assistive devices, medication, positioning care, skin care, and working with non-verbal clients are emphasized. Some clients need continuous supervision, also at night. Clients may sometimes exhibit challenging behavior. Outdoor activities are carried out with several residents daily. Other residents are taken outdoors at least weekly or more often according to the resident's wishes. Knowing the clients, adhering to common operating methods, and calm resident-oriented work prevent incidents, which is why teamwork is important to us. The unit is divided into teams, so you should bring forward your own expertise and interests. We expect from you: a practical nurse degree and Suosikki registration from the License and Supervision Authority; a social and healthcare professional card (Kanta certificate card); willingness to demonstrate medication skills by completing a medication permit within four months of starting employment and regularly during employment; willingness for three-shift work; basic Finnish language skills needed for documentation and meeting clients. Rinnekodit is a smoke-free and drug-free workplace, where the pre-employment check includes a check of vaccination protection according to the Communicable Diseases Act. We check the criminal record extract of the person selected for the task in the manner intended by legislation (Act on the Supervision of Social and Health Care) before concluding the employment contract. The criminal record extract must not be older than six months. Work community and culture: Our work community includes practical nurses, registered nurses, special instructors, instructors corresponding to home caregivers, and the service unit manager as your supervisor. Your supervisor is committed to supporting your and the entire work community's development with a coaching approach – encouraging, giving feedback, and listening in moments of concern. We encourage each other to grow both on our own paths and together! We use the principles of a safer space. By following these together, we ensure an appreciative, safe, and pleasant work community for everyone, where everyone can be themselves. We offer you: salary according to salary class G22 (2495.24-2825.05 € + shift premiums according to the private social services sector collective agreement); sports, culture, and well-being benefit; versatile occupational health care and comprehensive leisure accident insurance; community-based shift planning to support the balance between work and free time; the possibility to work with a 3+4 shift model (three workdays and four days off); your own mentor and a welcoming orientation designed for you; the opportunity to utilize your expertise and strengths; the opportunity to participate in career coaching; the possibility to apply for an apartment in the Helsinki metropolitan area through us; help with managing your own finances. Applying for the job and recruitment process: You can easily leave your application by answering a few questions. We hope that you leave your application in Finnish. The application period ends 16.8.2026 – however, we may close recruitment earlier if the right person is found. We will hold the first interviews in the week starting 3.8.2026. Work starts 10.8.2026 OR by agreement. We value diversity in our work community and encourage people from different backgrounds to apply to work for us. Questions?
