About the job
To care for and support adults on the autism spectrum with intensive support needs, we can offer a position as a social pedagogue at 60 - 80% from June 2026 or by arrangement.
Five residents from young to middle adulthood manage their everyday lives with intense challenges that come with living with pronounced autism and additional cognitive impairment. They offer you the chance to build trust in yourself and the environment and to discover your self-efficacy in a fulfilling way.
Together with two other colleagues per day, you accompany them – from support with self-care, through kitchen, household to work in the garden and workshop. You work a lot in individually accompanied methodically structured situations. The TEACCH approach forms the methodological orientation.
The team shares the team leadership responsibility as a self-managing team. Together with five other shared apartments, your group forms a small neighborhood settlement on the outskirts of Mettleneggen near 3665 Wattenwil.
We offer:
- An exciting and versatile job with many opportunities for co-design
- Exciting moments of accompaniment and various retreat options for breaks so that you can recharge your energy even in stressful moments
- Great, humorous and committed team colleagues
- Careful onboarding
- Coordinated times for intensive individual support of the residents
- Internal training with a focus on ASD
- Free parking spaces
- Salary and social benefits according to cantonal guidelines
- Work in a committed, qualified and mindful team
- Monthly team retreats with internal professional advice
- Full (undivided) day shifts without night watch/on-call duty
We expect:
- Training as a social pedagogue or care professional or equivalent qualification
- Enjoyment of open and constructive collaboration
- Willingness for specific pedagogical engagement
- Knowledge in kitchen, household and environmental work
- Willingness for irregular working hours including evening and weekend shifts
- Driver's license, category B desired
