Supervisor / Caregiver 80 - 100% #

With around 1400 employees, Justizvollzug und Wiedereingliederung (JuWe) is the largest office within the Direktion der Justiz und des Innern and is responsible for the execution of sentences and measures as well as for the implementation of various types of detention. Our employees from around 40 professions support and promote the reintegration of convicted people and are effectively and progressively committed to a safe and just society.

The Justizvollzugsanstalt Pöschwies (JVA) is one of eight main departments of JuWe and the largest closed facility for men in Switzerland. With around 400 detention places, it contributes to the protection of the general public in accordance with its legal mandate and simultaneously creates the prerequisites for the resocialization of the incarcerated persons.

For our Normalvollzug (NV), we are looking for an engaged personality as a Supervisor / Caregiver, starting immediately or by arrangement.

This is your field of activity ###

• You accompany and care for incarcerated persons in their structured daily routine, stand by them as a contact person for concerns, and actively help shape daily life in detention
• Ensuring a safe and orderly daily routine is just as much a part of your tasks as the consistent compliance with and enforcement of security and service regulations. In doing so, you recognize critical situations early and act confidently even in challenging moments
• You are present during leisure and group activities, promote respectful interaction, and contribute to a positive and regulated coexistence
• Administrative tasks such as writing reports and the careful documentation of events are also part of your varied everyday work
• As an active member of the company fire brigade, you also make an important contribution to security within the JVA

This is what you bring with you ###

• A completed vocational apprenticeship with an eidg. Fähigkeitszeugnis, (Fach-)Maturität, Fachmittelschulausweis, or an equivalent qualification; ideally, you already have experience in a comparable caregiving function
• Very good oral and written German skills as well as ideally knowledge of another language
• Confident handling of common MS Office applications
• A stable, resilient personality with high physical and mental resilience as well as strong social competence
• Flexibility and willingness to work in shift operations as well as during on-call and weekend assignments
• An impeccable record (no entries in the criminal and debt collection register) as well as a minimum age of 25 years

Our offer ###

• A responsible, varied, and meaningful activity awaits you in an extraordinary working environment with high social relevance
• We offer diverse internal and external continuing education opportunities, such as training to become a Fachfrau/Fachmann für Justizvollzug with eidg. Fachausweis
• Your place of work in Regensdorf is well-connected in terms of transport and easily accessible
• You benefit from attractive employment conditions according to cantonal guidelines
