About the job
What if you helped us design a more inclusive society?
Located in the Vevey region, between town and countryside, the Cité du Genévrier welcomes adults with disabilities due to intellectual impairment. A multidisciplinary and multi-site structure, it offers those it supports a particularly harmonious living and working environment as well as a range of skills adapted to the needs and aspirations of each individual.
Integrated into the Eben-Hézer Foundation, the Cité du Genévrier is the custodian of the moral testament of its founder, Sister Julie Hofmann. It thus considers the happiness of the people it supports as the ultimate goal of its work.
Mission
The "Les Roseaux" group is a living space hosting five adults (non-verbal) with severe intellectual disabilities and associated disorders. The support focuses on activities in small groups and individually. The main objectives are predictability, structuring, and adapting the environment.
Extravagance and calm.
Anticipation and allowing oneself to be surprised.
Knowing when to run and when to rest.
These are the paradoxes that make this group unique.
Supporting a person at Les Roseaux means :
- Providing individualised support in daily living activities and various learning processes
- Being patient, empathetic and caring. A sense of humour is also welcome!
- Working on the predictability of behavioural crises and behavioural disorders
- Promoting autonomy, communication, self-determination, dignity and safety of residents
- Coordinating networks, writing reports
- Accepting that a person who does not express themselves verbally nevertheless thinks and acts in their own way
Desired profile
- Holding a diploma as an ES or HES educator and experience in the field of intellectual disability (including communication support, management of behavioural disorders)
- Comfortable working and communicating within a team
- Experience in implementing life projects and adapted protocols
- Dynamic and creative in all situations
- Aware that observation, analysis and reflection guide our actions
- Possessing good stress resistance
