Social Pedagogue FH / HF, 70 – 80 %

About the job

Do you want to empower children in their growth, accompany them and also make a difference and help shape things yourself?

At Bachtelen, children, adolescents and young adults are at the centre – we support them in challenging life situations with heart, mind and a pinch of humour. In a strong team both personally and professionally, we shape their everyday lives together and create spaces for development.

The Huus am Schärme offers 10 children and young people a safe place to live 365 days a year. Embedded in the social environment of Hägendorf, the house enables everyday and life-world-oriented support. Through integration into the residential quarter, proximity to school, leisure and support services, as well as cooperation with parents, legal representatives and specialist agencies, we create good conditions for development, participation and independence. Our work is based on trust, participation and relationship building on an equal footing. Professionally, we orient ourselves to trauma pedagogical principles, the principles of life-world orientation and empowerment, thereby creating a structured, reliable framework and a safe place where children can grow and develop their strengths.
