We offer a position as a Social Pedagogue / Care Specialist 40-100% from March 2026 or by arrangement, to care for and support adults on the autism spectrum with intensive support needs.
Four residents, ranging from very young to middle-aged adults, manage their daily lives with intense challenges that come with living with pronounced autism and additional cognitive impairments. You will offer them the chance to build trust in themselves and their environment and to discover their self-efficacy in a fulfilling way.
Together with two other colleagues per day, you will accompany them – from support with self-care, through kitchen and household tasks to work in the garden and workshop. You will work a lot in individually accompanied, methodically structured situations. The TEACCH approach forms the methodological orientation.
The team shares the team leadership responsibility as a self-managing team. Together with five other shared apartments, your group forms a small neighborhood settlement on the edge of the village of Mettleneggen near 3665 Wattenwil.

- Monthly team retreats with internal professional consultation
- Full (undivided) day shifts without night shifts
We expect:
- Training as a social pedagogue or care specialist or equivalent qualification
- Enjoyment of open and constructive collaboration
