This is paid employment and, under the collective agreement for the private social services sector, is suitable for people seeking full-time, part-time, occasional or gig work. You can decide how much and when you work, so the role 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 are never left alone with your matters or questions—we promise. 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 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 both at home and outside the home. Assistant duties are often ordinary daily tasks that we all do in our own lives. The 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, pursue hobbies or manage household tasks. WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS SUITED TO BE AN ASSISTANT? As an employer of several hundred personal assistants, we can say that people with the right attitude toward this important work are best suited to become personal assistants. An assistant should be reliable, positive, helpful, hardworking and people-oriented. You do not need previous similar work experience, as every new assistant receives comprehensive induction at Aarre Avustajat’s own Aarre Academy before starting. Experience or education in assistance or care may nevertheless be useful with some clients. WHAT SHIFTS ARE AVAILABLE, AND CAN I INFLUENCE THEM? Personal assistance takes place 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 what kind of client you would like to assist. We aim to match our clients’ assistance needs with our assistants’ work preferences so that the arrangement suits everyone. You can always meet a prospective new client before the client relationship begins. If you feel something is not working as you expected, we can look together for an option that suits you. If you wish, you can work as an assistant for as many clients as you want. 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 we can contact you as soon as we find a suitable client. Filling in 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 obtains the extract electronically from the Legal Register Centre. Welcome to our great team! Apply confidently to work at Aarre Avustajat!
