About the job

Media Workshop Specialist 80%

The socio-pedagogical-psychiatric model ward SOMOSA offers a 6- to 12-month inpatient intensive treatment programme for female and male adolescents aged 14 to 18 who are experiencing a severe adolescent crisis. The aim of the treatment is to stabilise the clients’ personalities to such an extent that they can cope within the existing supportive or substitute socialisation systems upon discharge.

As a recognised listed hospital in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry and as a youth home with a socio-pedagogical mandate, we fulfil both requirements through long-standing, well-established intersystemic collaboration in the specialist fields of social pedagogy, nursing, psychotherapy and work therapy.
