School Social Worker

The Schuldienste Emmen, consisting of the specialist departments Schulsozialarbeit (SSA), Psychomotorik-Therapiestelle (PMT), Schulpsychologischer Dienst (SPD) and Logopädischer Dienst (LPD), are part of the Direktion Bildung und Kultur. The four specialist departments, the secretariat and the management work together under one roof in the Kompetenzzentrum Kind and live a close cooperation with each other as well as with the 11 school units of the Volksschule Emmen with around 600 teaching and specialist staff and now around 3-400 students. The Gemeindeverwaltung Emmen consciously maintains the informal 'Du' between all employees as part of the open corporate culture.

We are looking for as of 1. February 2027 or by arrangement:

YOU as a School Social Worker (70-80%)

Your areas of responsibility are:

You commit yourself in the form of individual, group or class work for the well-being of the child and work according to the principles of the Schulsozialarbeit Emmen. You are the specialist contact person in the school building for child protection issues and advise the school on the methodological procedure. You are the contact person for legal guardians and teachers regarding social and family issues and triage to other agencies if necessary. In the sense of cooperation, you work closely with the respective school managements and cooperation partners for the well-being of the child.

Your qualifications are:

You have a completed education from a Fachhochschule for Social Work (social work, social pedagogy or socio-cultural animation) and already bring experience in the professional field of school social work. You have sound specialist knowledge, particularly in the area of child protection. You are resilient, committed and interested in working in a multicultural environment. Your way of working is characterized by flexibility and team orientation. You have strong social and communication skills and can act confidently and empathetically in exchange with your work partners. You work in a systemic-solution-oriented manner and are used to interdisciplinary work.

We offer you:

A varied and independent activity in a lively and socio-demographically exciting environment awaits you. Regular team meetings within the area of Schulsozialarbeit, specialist pools for the further development of the service, intervisions and supervisions within the Schulsozialarbeit team are important to us. We also work together during a lockout period outside of the school building, during which we work in the Kompetenzzentrum Kind and can support each other at a low threshold or simply perform concentrated administrative tasks. Strong team cohesion characterizes the work within the SSA team. Semi-annual Schuldienst meetings as well as Schuldienst-internal and personal further training and good support are fixed components of our cooperation.
