What is a pay subsidy?
Pay subsidy is a subsidy intended to promote the employment of unemployed jobseekers. Helsinki Employment Services can grant the subsidy to employers for payroll costs. Pay-subsidised work improves the chances for jobseekers to find employment in the open labour market.

Pay-subsidised jobs in the social welfare, health and rescue sector
You can apply for pay-subsidised jobs at the social welfare, health and rescue sector in within City of Helsinki if you are an unemployed jobseeker living in Helsinki and you are eligible for pay subsidy.

At least three (3) years must have passed since your previous pay-subsidised work period at the social welfare, health and rescue sector before you can be employed under the pay subsidy system again.
In order to start at a pay-subsidised job, you will always need the approval of the employment services. Please discuss the matter with your specialist before applying for a pay-subsidised job. Submit a contact request via Job Market Finland's E-services(Link leads to external service).

Jobs with the City of Helsinki's contractual partners
Helsinki wants to offer job opportunities to people who may find it difficult to find a job in today's labour market. For this reason, we use an employment condition in the City's procurements. This means that our procurement agreement partner is committed to providing work to those in difficult labour market situations, such as young people, immigrants and long-term unemployed, and incapacitated and disabled persons.
Procurement agreement partners can offer both work and apprenticeships. You can recognise these jobs by the ‘Work through procurements’ (Työtä hankinnoilla) entry in the notification.
