Work Educator / a Work Educator at 50%

About the job

From July/August 2026 or by arrangement, we are looking for a work educator at 50% in and Wattenwil.

We are expanding and developing our agogic specialist offer for adults with ASD and are therefore looking for new colleagues for our exciting, advanced work projects in an intensive support setting. We want to enable lifelong dignified work and life for all people who live at home with us.

You work a lot in individually accompanied structured situations. The TEACCH approach forms the methodological orientation. You design appropriate work settings for this.

• Coordinated and fixed times for intensive individual support of residents on four mornings and two afternoons
• Salary and social benefits according to cantonal guidelines
