who is completing the training in the BSc Social Work degree program at OST St. Gallen (work-study; position fixed-term until the end of studies). The willingness to switch to a part-time or work-study program if necessary is a prerequisite for this position. An entry is possible as early as the first semester of study or from PM1 with connection, or at the beginning of the main course of study during a transition.

We offer you an exciting training position in the field of youth work and the Social department. The training includes engagement with central themes and principles of Open Youth Work and statutory social work (social assistance, asylum matters, maintenance advance payments). Project-oriented learning through cooperation in work and project groups with thematic focuses (conceptual questions, leisure activities, public relations, prevention) is also part of it.

The willingness to work irregular hours (working partly in the evening and partly on weekends in the field of youth work) does not present a problem for you. If you appreciate work in the fields of youth work and social services, and if you are flexible, resilient, and socially committed, then you could be our new female or male employee in training.

We enable a high degree of independence and diverse design possibilities, offer a varied and exciting working environment with a good working atmosphere, regular team and case discussions, and contemporary remuneration.
