There are many good reasons to work with us

A collegial atmosphere and a respectful work environment are the cornerstones of our collaboration. In addition, we support our colleagues with the following benefits:

“What you give to the children, you get back”

With us, you can really make a difference! Every day, we encounter grateful and inspiring people and stories that motivate us to create a more open society for everyone. We also foster a sense of community within our team—creating a place where you truly feel seen.

“I can send my own children to daycare and preschool”

Employees with children benefit from extended childcare hours at our in-house daycare center. We also provide childcare for children ages 6 to 12 during school breaks and subsidize childcare costs. Our employees generally have weekends and holidays off.

“I can work when my kids are at school—but not on the weekends”

With us, you have the freedom to shape your daily routine as you see fit, but you’ll always have our support if you have questions or encounter problems. As one of the largest employers in the region, we can also always offer you personalized solutions, starting with work and part-time arrangements tailored to your personal circumstances. This includes approving parental leave even if you don’t meet the statutory deadlines.

“I just feel completely at home here”

In addition, we provide you with additional retirement benefits and private accident insurance. As an employee, you also receive an affordable lunch every day, which you’re welcome to take home for yourself and your family.

Still not sure what you want to do after high school? How about taking a gap year to do social work? It’s a great way to get a feel for the working world, make good use of your time while you decide your next steps, and try out a career in social services. Plus, you’ll have the chance to work with children with and without disabilities and find out if a career in social services is right for you!
