Career Counselor (80% - 100%)
Your task is demanding and versatile.
You advise young people as well as adults with a health handicap in career choice and in the implementation of integration measures, initial vocational training, and retraining. You assess the performance profile, clarify the integration potential, and plan integration measures. In doing so, you take into account the resources and possibilities of your clients as well as occupational medical, labor market relevant, and legal requirements. You conduct the counseling process independently and work closely with schools, employers, institutions, and other partners. Various administrative tasks such as writing reports are also part of your duties.
You convince us both professionally and personally.
For this demanding role, you bring quite a lot: You have completed training (university or university of applied sciences) in psychology, social work, or pedagogy. In addition, you impress us with completed or ongoing further training in career and vocational counseling (MASP-CC&HRM or MAS BSLB) – or with the willingness to start such training. Professional experience as a career counselor will facilitate your entry.
Your work requires a high level of social competence in dealing with people with health limitations. Furthermore, solution-oriented counseling and organizational skills, resilience, and an independent working style are among your strengths. At the same time, you are a team player with high empathetic abilities. A dynamic work environment with plenty of scope for design is just to your liking, and you see constructive feedback as an opportunity for further development.
We not only demand but also offer a lot.
