Caritas Children´s Village Families in Irschenberg

Activity description

You will be part of a multidisciplinary team of employees in the care of children and young people living in our children's village. Children and adolescents cannot grow up with their parents for various reasons. We look after the children 365 days, 24 hours. The children and teenagers are between 2 and 18 years old. Normally 6 children live in each of our children's village families. Our mission is to give children a home: We support the children in their everyday life and organize a "normal family life" as possible, with everything that goes with it, for example: We make sure that the house and the garden are kept in order. We shop and prepare meals with the children. We plan and carry out leisure activities. We support with school assignments. You will get a good insight into our pedagogical concepts and the very differentiated offers of a large youth welfare institution.
