About the job

Educational Specialist in Cycle 2 in a One-to-One Setting (50 - 70%)

Department: Education and Living, School Vision Area

Start date: immediately or by arrangement

What you can achieve with us

Together with a motivated team consisting of educational specialists, you will support pupils on the autism spectrum, with cognitive impairments, as well as with self-injurious and aggressive behaviour intensively in their school day. You accompany the young people in a 1:1 setting and therefore do not work in a fixed class group. Regular exchange and consultations within the class team are planned.

What you bring with you

We are looking for a motivated and empathetic personality with training in social pedagogy. Ideally, you have already gained experience in working with people on the autism spectrum and with challenging and aggressive behaviours. You are characterised by an independent and reliable way of working and are physically and mentally very resilient. You enjoy contributing as part of a team. At the same time, you also like to work independently and sometimes on your own. You can approach the challenges related to supporting the young people with the necessary professionalism and calm.

What you can look forward to

In your role, you take on a lot of responsibility and receive the corresponding scope for design.
Our culture is characterised by appreciation and openness. You work in a motivated and well-coordinated team. 
Our employment conditions, based on cantonal framework conditions, are also attractive. Learn more about this in our flyer.  PDF
