About the job
Do you want to empower children in their growth, accompany them and also make a difference and contribute yourself?
At Bachtelen, children, adolescents and young adults are at the centre – we accompany and support them with heart, mind and a pinch of humour. In teams strong both personally and professionally, we shape their everyday lives together and create spaces for development.
At the Casa Crivelli residential group, up to 8 school-age children and adolescents live 365 days a year. We are a motivated and committed team that was recently newly formed. Our work is based on trust, participation and relationship-building on an equal footing. Professionally, we orient ourselves on trauma-pedagogical principles, attachment-guided pedagogy and principles of New Authority. This creates a structured, reliable framework and a safe place where children and adolescents can grow and develop their strengths.
