Social Pedagogue (female) or Social Pedagogue (male)

Do you want to work with children and young people who need you - and in a team that laughs, supports, and thinks ahead together? Then you have come to the right place!

The Stiftung Wohnschule Freienstein is a school home with a boarding-school-like character, recognized by the Canton of Zürich, the Federal Social Insurance Office, and the Federal Department of Justice.

With us, 36 children and young people of school age (1st-9th grade) find a supportive environment when they are in challenging life situations.

Around 50 employees from the fields of social pedagogy, school, administration, household, and agriculture work together to ensure a lively and appreciative everyday life. In the boarding school, 30 social pedagogues and group leaders accompany the children and young people in four residential groups - committed, empathetic, and throughout the year.

We work in a solution- and resource-oriented manner, rely on the strengths and development opportunities of our young people, and maintain close cross-departmental cooperation.
