Social educator with PA function and option for deputy team leadership

What you can achieve with us

You will work in a residential group with 11 - 14 multiply disabled, blind or visually impaired children and adolescents. Together with a motivated team, you will accompany the children in their leisure time and shape the daily life of the residential group. This also includes household and administrative tasks. In addition, you will accompany a social educator in training as a practical trainer, and there is the option to take on the role of deputy team leader. In this role, you will support the team leader with administrative and organizational tasks and take over team leadership during their absence.

You have completed training as a social educator, have several years of professional experience, and ideally have attended further training as a practical instructor.
It is natural for you to take on intensive care and support of the children. You have good ICT skills, are interested in interdisciplinary collaboration, and bring experience in working with caregivers/parents if possible. With your empathy, high sense of responsibility, and your humorous and flexible nature, you fit well into our team and maintain an overview even in hectic situations.
