Vacant job

Do you want to work with people? Then we have the job for you.

In the field of disability support, you work with everything from home care to supporting individuals in their workplaces, during leisure activities, or in creative environments such as theater and music. Daily support is the foundation – but needs vary. Regardless of the assignment, the goal is always the same: to strengthen people's independence and quality of life.

What is a disability?

A disability is a reduced physical, mental, or intellectual ability. It can be congenital or acquired later in life and can be visible or invisible. Every person is unique – with their own abilities, needs, and strengths – and that is what makes the work both meaningful and developmental.

We are recruiting for several operations within disability support:

• Residential care with special support (BmSS) – 24/7 operations.
• Day activity centers – habilitation and work-oriented activities during the day.
• Housing support – support in the user's home environment, primarily during the day but also evenings and weekends.
• Short-term accommodation for adults – time-limited support and care for adult users.
