Your tasks
As a school social worker, you advise our high school students on personal, social, and school-related challenges.

You complement the existing school social work services at our school and contribute to a professionally sound and needs-based counseling and support offer.

You are a committed individual with professional experience in school social work or counseling experience in the youth sector. You enjoy working with young people and, thanks to your affinity for psychosocial topics, you have a great understanding of the concerns of young people. With your solution-oriented systemic approach, you can mediate well between different concerns. You have an independent, structured, and reflective way of working and look forward to working in a team. Your communication skills, teamwork, and resilience benefit you both in dealing with various stakeholders and in managing crises.
A formal requirement for application is a bachelor's degree in social work, combined with further training in school social work (CAS) or a comparable field (CAS).
Our offer
Attractive working conditions according to cantonal guidelines and annual working hours. You will work closely in a two-person team with the school social worker who has been active at our school for several years. You can expect an open and adaptable school culture. For professional exchange, you are integrated into a regional team, and cantonal impulse and experience exchange meetings promote knowledge transfer among professionals.
