Personal Assistant

Hello, I am a 37-year-old woman from Espoo, Mankkaa. I am looking for a sewing-skilled, pleasant, proactive and flexible Finnish-speaking personal assistant. I use a wheelchair. The work takes place both at my home and at my workplace, and working hours vary (assistance hours granted total 43 h/week), and hours are divided among other assistants by agreement. The work is shift work, 3-8 hours per shift. I enjoy floorball and swimming, for which I need assistance, and sewing, so the assistant must have sewing and fabric knowledge. I am also interested in woodworking and human rights. I need help with everyday management, and it is important that together with the assistant we plan and mark future events precisely. At home I need help with small chores such as cleaning, sorting and taking out waste about once a week, dishwashing, occasional help with shower and leisure assistance. The assistant should know the Helsinki region’s local transport and routes. Work experience as a personal assistant is not required but is a plus. The person chosen must present a current criminal record extract. Interested? Submit your application via the link. We process applications in arrival order and will fill the position as soon as we find a suitable assistant. Want to know more before applying? Contact Merja Hellbom at 040 580 4051.
