Telephone and travel services
Among other things, we are responsible for conveying the City’s exchange calls and call-back services for health centres, and act as the City’s internal expert and consultant for telephone systems and applications. Together with our contracted suppliers, we also develop mobile solutions and increasingly smooth processes using software robotics, for example.
Our customer service centre for the Helsinki Transport Service is responsible for organising approximately 70,000 trips per month for customers in the social and health sector.
Food and sanitation services
We provide a wide range of food and sanitation services to the City of Helsinki divisions and enterprises, enabling more than 100,000 Helsinki residents to enjoy a meal every day. We operate in schools, daycare centres, senior centres, hospitals, and our food production facility in Pakkala, Vantaa.
Care services
We provide care services where we work together to ensure that every client gets the help they need, remotely or on-site, around the clock. We mainly employ practical nurses and registered nurses in a variety of care roles: remote care, as well as safety phone services and mobile nurse services, where help is taken to the client’s home.
For students
You don’t need to wait until after graduation to start your career path, as we have options for you even before you graduate. We offer several internships for students every year, as well as apprenticeships for future professionals interested in food services and the sanitation sector. We always announce upcoming apprenticeship vacancies on the page hel.fi/en/open-jobs!
In addition, we provide many kinds of opportunities for university students to do an internship or a thesis – e.g. in HR, sustainability or production planning and control.
