About the job
Living with mental health challenges can be demanding – both for the affected person and their environment. That is why the Interest Group for Social Psychiatry Zurich (IGSP) exists. It was founded 55 years ago out of the need to offer people supported and supervised living arrangements.
Our goal: People with mental health challenges lead as independent a life as possible and can participate in society. Three points are central to this: We treat each other with respect and on an equal footing. We work purposefully with the resources that the client brings. And we see the individual person in their entirety.
It creaks homely when you climb the wooden stairs in the Heinrich residential house. The charming old building offers a protected setting for life, although it is right in the middle of District 5. If you want to leave the hustle and bustle of the city outside, the furnished rooms as well as the quiet courtyard provide a suitable retreat for the 14 residents.
