Social Pedagogue / Care Specialist

From December 2025 or by arrangement, we can offer a position as a Social Pedagogue / Care Specialist at 80% - 100% for the care and support of adults on the autism spectrum with intensive support needs.

Five 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. They offer you the chance to build trust in yourself and the environment and to discover your self-efficacy in a fulfilling way.

Together with two other colleagues per day, you will accompany them – from support with self-care, through kitchen, household 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 outskirts of Mettleneggen near 3665 Wattenwil.

We offer:

• An exciting and versatile job with many opportunities for co-creation
• Exciting moments of accompaniment and various retreat options for breaks so that you can recharge even in stressful moments
• Great, humorous, and committed team colleagues
• Careful onboarding
• Coordinated times for intensive individual support of the residents
• Internal training with a focus on ASD
• Free parking spaces
• Salary and social benefits according to cantonal guidelines
• Work in a committed, qualified, and mindful team
• Monthly team retreats with internal professional consultation
• Full (undivided) day shifts without night watch/on-call duty

We expect:

• Training as a social pedagogue or care specialist or equivalent qualification
• Enjoyment of open and constructive collaboration
• Willingness for specific pedagogical engagement
