This is paid employment in accordance with the collective agreement for the private social services sector. It suits people looking for full-time, part-time, occasional or gig work. As a personal assistant, you decide how much and when you work, so the job can also be done alongside another job or studies. You do not need special education for assistant work; the right attitude and reliability are the most important qualities. At Aarre Avustajat, you receive ongoing support and guidance from your own staff contact, and you will not be left alone with your matters or questions. 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 that the client would do themselves but cannot manage alone because of a disability or illness. The purpose is to help the client with everyday tasks at home and outside the home. Assistance tasks are often ordinary everyday activities that we all do in our own lives. The work does not include tasks requiring separate training, such as a practical nurse qualification; 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 AS AN ASSISTANT? As an employer of several hundred personal assistants, we have found that people with the right attitude to this important work are best suited to the role. An assistant should be reliable, positive, helpful, hardworking and people-oriented. You do not need previous similar work experience. Every new assistant receives comprehensive orientation at Aarre Avustajat’ own Aarre Academy before starting. Experience or education in assistance or care may 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 to evening. At Aarre Avustajat, you can decide how much and when you want to work and which kind of client you want to assist. We aim to match our clients’ assistance needs with assistants’ work preferences so that the arrangement suits everyone. You can always meet a potential new client before the client relationship begins. If you feel something is not working as you expected, we can look together for a suitable alternative. If you wish, you can assist as many clients as you like. APPLYING Recruitment is ongoing, so please complete the application form carefully.
