Do you want to work with us?

Aspa Palvelut Oy is a Finnish social enterprise. It produces personalised housing services for persons recovering from mental health and substance abuse problems, people with different disabilities, and others who need support in their daily lives.

There are approximately 40 units offering housing services in different localities. The units are referred to as Aspa Homes. They offer supported housing, communal housing, and 24-hour service housing. The job description of a Support Worker is very diverse. Working days include a wide range of different tasks, depending on the customers and service offerings of the housing unit.

Supported housing

In supported housing, our Support Workers help the customers in building and maintaining a life that is as self-sufficient, meaningful, and independent as possible. Supported housing customers live in their own homes and the Support Workers assist them with things such as finding a regular routine in life, keeping their home in order, managing their finances, or using services outside the home. Supported housing customers include people recovering from mental health and substance abuse problems.  

Communal housing 

In communal housing, our employees support and assist customers in living independent and self-determined lives. Communal housing services include providing apartments and all the daily services the customers need for independent living. The apartments are close to the Aspa Home’s communal premises, where the residents can, for instance, dine together. Communal housing residents include people with various disabilities.  

24-hour service housing

24-hour service housing is for individuals who require regular assistance, support and care at all times of the day. In 24-hour service housing, residents live in rented, accessible apartments and receive all the services they need to live at home independently. Staff is present 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide assistance whenever it is needed. Among others, our 24-hour service housing residents include people with severe disabilities and brain injuries.
