You want to take responsibility, not just watch? Then you are exactly right with us. In the "Family Activation - Team Measures" you meet people who do more than just a job - they show attitude, stay committed, and make a difference. We accompany young people in difficult life situations who do not come to us voluntarily - but sometimes stay. We believe: Change begins where relationships are formed. For our committed team, we are looking for colleagues with attitude, heart, and perseverance -
  • who build genuine relationships with young people, even when it gets difficult
  • who confront, reflect, and stay present
  • who endure difficult situations
Team players with backbone and humor who understand youth welfare not as a sprint but as a shared, long journey. What you bring
1 | 2
  • You are not just looking for a job - you enjoy youth coaching and want to work with young people before they completely lose connection.
  • You believe that behavior can be changed - if the will to change is there.
  • You work with heart, mind, and inner conviction. You don't need a stage - but you want impact.
  • You are reflective, well balanced in your own life, and have a private situation that supports this profession.
  • You are flexible, open to new things, not afraid of change - because we are constantly
in transition.
- You present yourself confidently - whether 25 or 60 years old - and see yourself as a business card of Jugendnetzwerk.
  • You work interdisciplinarily, take responsibility, and are more than a helper: You are someone who believes that fewer crimes are possible - if someone looks in time and stays committed. What awaits you
    Flexible, decentralized - but always connected
  • Our workday does not take place in the office - but where young people live.
  • We work mobile, self-organized, and relationship-oriented. Our youth coaches are on the move like satellites - independent in implementation, but always closely networked in the team.
  • Regular training, team meetings, and case workshops promote exchange,
development, and collegial support. - In everyday life, we communicate simply - via phone, email, WhatsApp, or spontaneous meetings.
- Our areas of operation include not only the canton of Zurich but also adjacent regions such as Lucerne, Zug, Aargau, or Schwyz.
  • You do not have to live in the canton of Zurich - what matters is your willingness to be on the move.
  • Attractive employment conditions according to the guidelines of the canton of Zurich.
  • Own business mobile phone as well as annual working hours and flexibility in designing your
working hours.
- Our work does not always end at 5 p.m. and sometimes takes place on weekends. Curious?
