About the job

We are a stable, motivated and committed team working on the basis of trust, participation and relationship-building on an equal footing. Professionally, we orient ourselves to trauma-pedagogical principles, the principles of life-world orientation as well as empowerment, thereby creating a structured, reliable framework and a safe place where children can grow and develop their strengths.

Your profile

We look forward to a Social Pedagogue FH/HF with:

• Passion for supporting children and adolescents in challenging life situations and joy in relationship work
• Team orientation, strong communication skills and the ability to contribute authentically – whether in shift handovers, case discussions or interdisciplinary cooperation with parents and networks
• Appreciation for a stable team where mutual support, humour and respect are paramount and where laughing together, reflecting and growing are natural
• A structured and reliable way of working in a 365-day service – with fixed frameworks for daily routines, participation processes and trauma-pedagogical approaches

What to expect from us

• A team where "team" is not just a word in the organisational chart.
  You will be part of a stable core team of experienced professionals who are skilled, support each other and still have humour even when the day does not go as planned. We work respectfully together, speak openly and believe: good work should also feel good.
• Clear structures. Because chaos happens on its own.
  Duty planning, case management, responsibilities: with us it is clearly defined who does what and who is the contact person for what. This gives you orientation and creates space for what really matters: good pedagogical work and genuine relationships.
• No "Here is your key, good luck!"
  We take the time to ensure you settle in well with us. You will be carefully inducted, learn our procedures step by step and have fixed contact persons by your side. Regular feedback is part of this. Not only when there is a problem.
• We take our work seriously. But not always ourselves.
  Work in the social pedagogical field can be demanding. That is why humour, mutual support and an uncomplicated togetherness are important to us. With us, laughter is allowed. Even about things probably only understood by those working in this profession.
• In short: You will get clear structures, experienced team members, support in everyday life and enough space to bring in your personality and strengths. And quite certainly one or two reasons to enjoy coming to work.

These are our employment conditions

First of all, your work with us is meaningful, responsible and varied. However, we are aware that hard facts also count, so we gladly offer many extras, such as:

• Fair allowances for night, weekend and public holiday duties
• 5 additional paid holiday days
• Paid breaks with free drinks and fruit
• Generous support (money and/or time) for further training
• Attractive loyalty bonuses from 5 years of service and various staff events
• Social insurance plus, exceeding the legal minimum
• And everything else we will gladly tell you in a conversation

I am happy to take time for your questions and look forward to hearing from you:
