At the Berner Eltern-Kind-Zentrum, the Universitäre Psychiatrische Zentrum Bern (UPZ) is expanding its range of services to include outreach pedagogical-therapeutic support (Hometreatment) for children aged 0 to 6 years and their families. The treatment takes place directly in the familiar living environment of the families - there, where psychological problems manifest and changes can be sustainably initiated.

Together with the families, we develop individual interventions tailored to their life situation, which strengthen their resources and promote the development of the children. In doing so, you work independently and in close cooperation with an interdisciplinary team of specialists from pedagogy, psychology, and medicine. This intensive interdisciplinary cooperation requires flexibility, creativity, and team spirit.

Your tasks

• You accompany children and their families in the pedagogical-therapeutic milieu, promote their independence, and support them in actively shaping their developmental and therapy process
• You plan and implement individual therapeutic interventions tailored to the family's life situation
• As a hometreating professional, you work in a multiprofessional team of specialists from pedagogy, psychology, and medicine
• You design the cooperation with parents and legal guardians in an appreciative and solution-oriented manner and involve them actively in the treatment process
• You support the families in dealing with challenging situations in everyday life and strengthen their resources within the framework of the therapeutic process
• You contribute your professional perspective to the diagnostic process and participate in a shared understanding of the case as well as in the determination of therapy goals. Together with the treatment team, you are responsible for the planning, implementation, and documentation of the treatment
• With your independent and responsible way of working, you make an important contribution to the quality of treatment and to the achievement of the clinic's performance goals

Your profile

• You have a degree as a diplomierte Pflegefachperson HF/FH or as a diplomierte Sozialpädagogin / Sozialpädagoge HF/FH

• You know how to work with parents and legal guardians constructively, appreciatively, and at eye level
• You can prove an impeccable reputation by means of a private and special private criminal record extract
• You possess a driver's license and, depending on the situation, flexibly use public transport or a passenger car for outreach work. In doing so, you plan your assignments efficiently, economically, and environmentally consciously.
