This is paid employment under the private social services sector collective agreement. 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 role can also be done alongside another job or studies. You do not need specific training for the work; 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 never be left alone with your concerns 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 the client would do themselves but cannot manage alone because of a disability or illness. The assistant helps the client with everyday tasks both at home and outside the home. The duties are often ordinary everyday tasks that we all do in our own lives. The work does not include tasks requiring separate qualifications, such as practical nurse training; anyone can work as an assistant. Tasks may include helping the client with shopping, outdoor activities, meals or cooking, dressing, hobbies or household chores. WHO IS SUITED TO BE AN ASSISTANT? As an employer of several hundred personal assistants, we have found that people with the right attitude towards 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 related work experience. Every new assistant receives thorough induction at Aarre Avustajat' own Aarre Academy before starting. Experience or education in assistance and 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, as well as the type of client you support. 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 something does not work as you expected, we can look together for a suitable alternative. If you wish, you can assist as many clients as you like. 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. Completing the form does not commit you to anything. Anyone hired as a personal assistant must provide the employer with an extract from the criminal records register issued less than six months earlier before starting work. The applicant requests the extract electronically from the Legal Register Centre. Welcome to our great team! APPLY TO AARRE AVUSTAJAT!
