Your new workplace

You want to take responsibility, not just watch? Then you are exactly right with us. In the "Family Activation – Family Area" you will meet people who do more than just practise a profession – with commitment, curiosity and an open attitude, we accompany families and young people in difficult life situations – change begins where relationships are formed.

For our committed team in the family area we are looking for colleagues

• who build genuine relationships with families, even when it gets difficult
• who confront, reflect, encourage, see and promote resources and actively support the family in the change process
• who enjoy working directly in the families' living environment

What you bring:

• You believe that situations can change when families receive resource-oriented support and can be shown where they can actively strengthen their self-efficacy
• You work with heart, mind and inner conviction
• You are reflective, well balanced in your own life and have a private environment that supports this profession
• You are flexible, open to new things, not afraid of change – because we are constantly evolving
• You present yourself confidently – whether 25 or 60 years old – and see yourself as the business card of the Youth Network

What to expect:

• Flexible, decentralised – but always connected
• Our workday does not take place in the office – but where families live
• We work mobile, self-organised and relationship-oriented
• Regular training, intervisions and supervisions promote exchange, development and collegial support
• In everyday life we communicate simply – via phone, e-mail, WhatsApp or spontaneous meetings
• Our areas of operation include the canton of Zurich as well as neighbouring cantons
• Attractive employment conditions according to the guidelines of the canton of Zurich
• Own business mobile phone as well as annual working hours with great flexibility in designing working time
