About the job
Group Leader Children's Residential Group 80-100%
The work in our children’s residential group Ammonit is intensive, demanding and not always predictable. We support children and young people with severe cognitive and partly physical impairments, some of whom display very challenging behaviour. Situations can change within a very short time.

Not everyone can or wants to do this work. It demands expertise, inner stability and the ability to remain calm in very challenging situations, to take responsibility and to convey security.
