Does anyone know about kela. I am a finnish citizen, never work or lived in finland as I was born and raised abroad and now wish to move to finland to live, work and study the language.
Can I get any sort of assistance when I first arrive in finland, what is the process. e.g. housing assistance, will they help me find a job.

http://www.kela.fi/in/internet/english.nsf knows a lot about KELA. there's something called integration allowance, but depending if you qualify for it or not... and no, for getting a job you have to go to http://www.mol.fi and they don't "help" you too much, rather offer self-help tools...
