What is personal assistance and what does an assistant do? Personal assistance is a service where the assistant acts as the client’s hands and feet to perform tasks the client would perform themselves, but cannot due to disability or illness. The purpose is to help the client with everyday tasks at home and outside the home. The tasks are often ordinary daily chores that we all do in our own lives. The assistant’s duties do not include tasks requiring a separate, e.g., practical nurse degree; anyone can work as an assistant. Examples include helping the client shop, go for walks, eat, cook, dress, engage in hobbies or do housework. What kind of person is suitable as an assistant? We have found through experience that the best personal assistants are those with the right attitude toward supportive work. The assistant should be reliable, positive, helpful, hardworking and person-oriented. You do not need previous relevant work experience, as every new assistant is trained in our own Aarre Academy before starting work. Experience or formal training in caregiving can be beneficial for some clients. What kinds of shifts are offered and can I influence them? Personal assistance is provided on weekdays and weekends, with shifts often available from morning to evening. At Aarre Avustajat you can influence how much and when you work and for what kind of client. We aim to match our clients’ needs with our assistants’ work wishes so that it works for everyone.
