WHAT IS A PERSONAL ASSISTANT AND WHAT DOES AN ASSISTANT DO?

A personal assistant is a service where the assistant acts as the client’s hands and feet to perform activities the client would do themselves, but cannot manage alone due to disability or illness. The aim is to help the client with daily tasks at home and outside the home.

Typical tasks include:

• shopping
• outdoor activities
• meals or cooking
• dressing
• hobbies
• housekeeping

WHAT KIND OF PERSON FITS AS AN ASSISTANT?

We have found that the best personal assistants are people with the right attitude towards meaningful care work. The assistant should be trustworthy, positive, helpful, hardworking and people-oriented. Previous related experience is not required, as each new assistant is trained in our own Aarre Academy before starting. Experience or education in caregiving can be beneficial for some clients.

WHAT WORK SHIFTS ARE OFFERED AND CAN I INFLUENCE THEM?

The service runs on weekdays and weekends, with shifts often available from morning to evening. You can influence how much and when you work and for which client. We aim to match our clients’ needs with our assistants’ work preferences so that it works for everyone. You will always have the opportunity to meet a potential new client before starting the client relationship, and if anything is not working as you expected, we can find a suitable alternative together. You may work as a personal assistant for as many clients as you wish.

BACKGROUND CHECK REQUIREMENT

The person to be hired as a personal assistant must present a police background check (less than 6 months old) to the employer before starting work. The background check is obtained electronically from the Finnish Police at the applicant’s expense.
