This is paid employment under the private social services sector collective agreement and 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 combined with another job or studies. You do not need special training; the right attitude and reliability are the most important qualities. At Aarre Avustajat, you receive continuous support and guidance from your own staff contact and will not be left alone with questions or concerns. WHAT IS PERSONAL ASSISTANCE AND WHAT DOES AN ASSISTANT DO? Personal assistance is a service in which an 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 assistant helps with everyday tasks at home and outside the home. Assistance tasks are often ordinary daily activities that people also do in their own lives. The work therefore does not include tasks requiring separate qualifications, such as practical nurse training; anyone can work as an assistant. Examples include helping a client shop, go outdoors, eat or prepare food, get dressed, pursue hobbies or manage household duties. WHO 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 assistance work are best suited to the role. An assistant should be reliable, positive, helpful, diligent and comfortable working with people. You do not need previous similar work experience. Every new assistant receives comprehensive induction at Aarre Avustajat’s 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 influence how much and when you work and which client you 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 something does not work as you expected, we can look together for a suitable alternative. You may work as an assistant for as many clients as you wish. APPLYING Recruitment is ongoing, so please complete the application form carefully. Include all 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. Before starting, a person selected as a personal assistant must provide the employer with a criminal record extract issued within the last six months. The applicant requests the extract electronically from the Legal Register Centre. Welcome to our wonderful team! Apply confidently to work at Aarre Avustajat.
