Social Pedagogue Youth Work 50%

01.11.2026 or by arrangement

Our municipality is developing into a regional centre. Where there was once industry, sustainable, vibrant neighbourhoods with plenty of greenery are emerging. Good public transport connections, a strong local economy and a clear commitment to social justice make it an attractive place to live and work. Diversity, openness and participation shape our community life – supported by a modern administration.

The open youth work advises and supports young people in public spaces and offers them a leisure and counselling centre in the youth club. You care about a good upbringing, equal opportunities and the concerns of young people and are willing to work evenings and occasionally at weekends.

We value a diverse and balanced team composition. Due to the current team constellation, we are particularly pleased to receive applications from men. Of course, all qualified persons are warmly invited to apply.

Your daily challenges. You…

• advise young people at the youth meeting point, support them in their adolescence and promote equal opportunities and integration.
• strengthen, together with the team, the engagement with current topics such as role models, sexual diversity and participation.
• develop projects and implement them together with the young people.
• offer yourself as a trusted person and immerse yourself in the world of young people.
• maintain contact with residents, schools and other service and specialist agencies and collaborate in the implementation of the UNICEF label.

The skills you bring. You…

• have a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work (FH) with a focus on social pedagogy or socio-cultural animation.
• are experienced in youth work.
• enjoy working with young people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
• convince through empathy, respect and open communication.
• approach things constructively and find practical solutions.
