Executive Assistant 80%

«For every child in Switzerland a fulfilled childhood and a self-determined, responsible upbringing.»

With our services such as the emergency number 147, parent letters, application trainings, media usage workshops and many more, we support children and young people as well as their parents on a daily basis.

We place great value on participation, leadership, communication, and transparency throughout the entire team.
