WORKS AVAILABLE AS A PERSONAL ASSISTANT

We are now looking for new personal assistants for our clients for important but flexible assistance work. The work is paid in accordance with the private social services sector collective agreement and is suitable for those seeking full-time, part-time, occasional, or gig work. As a personal assistant you decide how much and when you work, so the job also fits alongside another job or studies. You do not need special education for the assistant job; the right attitude and reliability are the most important qualities for an excellent personal assistant. At Aarre Avustajat you will receive ongoing support and guidance from your own supervisor, and you will never be left alone with your tasks or questions.

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

A personal assistant is a service where the personal assistant acts as the hands and feet of the client, carrying out tasks the client would do themselves but cannot do alone due to disability or illness. The purpose of a personal assistant is to help the client with everyday tasks at home and outside the home.

Assistant tasks are often ordinary everyday chores that we all do in our own lives. The role does not include tasks that require a separate qualification such as a practical nurse degree; anyone can work as an assistant. Examples of assistant tasks include helping the client in the store, outdoors, at mealtimes or cooking, dressing, hobbies, or household chores.

WHAT KIND OF PERSON IS SUITABLE AS AN ASSISTANT?

We, as the employer of hundreds of personal assistants, have found that the best fit is a person who has the right attitude toward important assistance work. The assistant should be reliable, positive, helpful, hardworking and people-oriented. You do not need prior experience in a similar job, as everyone will be trained through our own Aarre Academy before starting. Experience or education in the care sector can be beneficial for some clients.

WHAT SHIFTS ARE OFFERED AND CAN I PARTICIPATE IN THEM?

Personal assistance is a service that takes place 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 for which client. We aim to match our clients’ needs with our assistants’ work wishes so that it suits everyone. You will always have the opportunity to meet a potential new client before the start of the client relationship, and if something doesn’t work as you expected, we can together look for a suitable alternative. You can work as a personal assistant for as many clients as you want.
