Up-keep of the premises, inventories and minor fixes to the premises and equipment
Arrival & departure arrangements of the residents
Orders and deliveries of products and services
Assistance in HIAP projects and residency community events

The work involves direct communication with the residents and various service providers, thus fluent English is required. Finnish language skill is not a requirement but is an advantage in some tasks. The work tasks include a fair amount of physical hands-on work. Major maintenance tasks are handled by various service companies (the residency assistant in some cases is the contact person for these, but would not need to do more advanced maintenance tasks).
