About the job

Are you looking for a meaningful activity in a nature-oriented environment where the person is at the center? Is it your vision to help shape the society of the future with your personality, skills, and expertise? Then you are exactly right with us! We are Erlenhof | Zentrum, a socially pedagogically managed institution in Northwestern Switzerland for people who need support in their personal, social, and professional development. Our respected format is regionally unique, lively, and highly innovative.

For the Waldegg residential group in Reinach BL, which supports male and female adolescents in their personal, social development as well as professional integration in a residential setting, we are looking to support the team as a maternity cover from 01.07.2026 to 28.02.2027:

• Care for adolescents and young adults aged between 14 and 18 years in the daily residential group routine
• Care and accompaniment of the entire group during day and night shifts
• Activation of the group towards independent living and household management as well as organizing projects, holiday weeks, and activities on weekends
• Preparation of individual and group documentation
• Implementation of specific development and support goals and the mandates of the referring authority

• Degree as social pedagogue HF/FH or equivalent recognized qualification

We address people for whom (the keywords commonly found in job ads 😉) such as curiosity, empathy, resilience, flexibility are not foreign in terms of their own personality. If behind these characteristics stands a humorous, positive person with heart as well as a winning nature and a binding, resource- and solution-oriented attitude, then we probably have a solid common basis. Just as we consider building and maintaining sustainable relationships with the entrusted adolescents important, we also see a team atmosphere characterized by transparency, loyalty, and openness as a key to success. Regarding working hours, we expect your willingness and flexibility for irregular working hours (accompanying/night and weekend shifts). In this respect, planning is done together and proactively so that individual wishes and preferences can be taken into account as far as possible.

Within an experienced and currently expanding team, you have the opportunity to actively contribute to the participative and individual design of both everyday life and the agreed support goals for the adolescents. A framework freed as much as possible from rigid and general "if, then" rules enables and requires creative approaches from you in the pedagogical work with our clientele. We promote your professional and personal development, and through the variety of our internal operations, you benefit from an interesting range of fringe benefits, above-average social benefits, and many other perks. Our attractive employment conditions are based on the guidelines of the Canton Basel-Landschaft.

We look forward to hearing from you!
