About the job

Company Description

The Public Institutions for Integration (EPI) have the mission to contribute to the well-being and social and/or professional integration of people with disabilities or facing difficulties in professional and/or social integration. More than 900 people are supported in very varied contexts.

An ambitious and meaningful project

We are strengthening support and care practices in two reception structures, Kaolin and Intera, designed to meet the needs of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Intellectual Developmental Disorder (IDD) in complex situations.
This project, based on mixed socio-educational and medico-therapeutic support, aims to become an example of best practices, a reference place where the most recent, validated and effective approaches will be implemented.

Our ambition is clear:

• to offer very high-quality, individualised support that respects the aspirations and needs of each resident.
• to give beneficiaries the means to develop their skills and autonomy
• to provide professionals with a solid, innovative working environment supported by a structured methodology and a robust training and support system
• to make this structure a recognised model, intended to inspire other projects and institutions

• For the social-educational assistant role: Federal VET Diploma (CFC) as social-educational assistant and SEFRI recognition
• Knowledge of ASD and/or strong willingness to train in depth.
