Do you want to make a difference – every day?

At Nature and Service, we create a meaningful everyday life for people with disabilities. Through our daily activities, we offer not only employment but also community, development, and joy. We believe in individualized support, alternative communication, and respectful interaction – so that each person feels safe and included. We are now looking for someone who, with commitment, warmth, and attentiveness, wants to contribute to our participants experiencing a really good day, every day.

Nature and Service offers daily activities for about 200 participants, distributed across approximately 25 different operations. The purpose is to provide our users with meaningful employment and the opportunity to change environments. Some activities involve simpler tasks. Participants may have extensive support needs and sometimes challenging behaviors. Communication occurs in various ways, and we use alternative communication such as visual aids, signs, and body language to create understanding and participation.
