Group Lead Infrastructure & Environment (80-100 %)

Start of employment:

1. June 2027

Work location:

Erlach

We are using retirements in the service area to reorganize our existing structures. In doing so, we are merging the Technical Service and the previous fields of work of Schlossallmend under a single management.

For the establishment and leadership of this newly bundled area, we are looking for a practically-minded, strong-willed, and responsible personality as of 1. June 2027.

Your area of responsibility is exceptionally versatile: it ranges from Technical Service and the maintenance of our historical properties to gardening and agriculture with small animal husbandry, to the management of our Seemätteli at the lakeshore. In addition to reliable operation, these fields of work have another significance in the SHE: they can offer children and young people practical experience, successes, and alternative learning and relief opportunities.

Your tasks

|| Establish and lead the area: You will lead the employees of Infrastructure & Environment personally and operationally and develop a single, well-functioning area from the previous fields of work.
|| Ensure operation: Together with your team, you will ensure the maintenance, care, safety, and preservation of value of our historical castle complex, other properties, facilities, machinery, and infrastructure, as well as winter and weekend services.
|| Coordinate diverse fields of work: Technical Service, garden, agriculture with small animal husbandry, and Seemätteli are part of your area of responsibility. You plan resources and assignments and ensure functioning processes.
|| Create agogic opportunities: Together with the area management and the pedagogical specialists, you enable suitable practical assignments for students. In doing so, you contribute your professional competencies and create manageable, meaningful, and authentic work assignments.
|| Work interdisciplinarily: You are in exchange with the school, social pedagogy/residential care, and the other service areas and contribute to implementing suitable learning and relief offers.
|| Organize and take responsibility: Work and assignment planning, shared budget responsibility, administrative tasks, reporting, and participation in relevant internal bodies are also part of your function.

Your profile

|| Professional background: You have a manual, technical, agricultural, or comparable basic vocational training and bring sound professional experience.
|| Leadership: You have already taken on leadership responsibility or possess equivalent professional and practical experience that qualifies you to lead a versatile team.
|| Agogic openness: Agogic training is not required. Experience in accompanying children or young people, work-agogic knowledge, or comparable experience is a plus. Decisive is your willingness to engage with our pedagogical-agogic mandate and implement it together with the specialists.
|| Way of working: You work independently, pragmatically, and solution-oriented, can set priorities, and maintain an overview even in a diverse work environment.
|| Personality: You lead clearly and appreciatively, are a team player, resilient, and enjoy connecting people, craftsmanship, nature, and operations.

We offer you

|| You do not take over a fully defined area, but can actively help shape the merger of Technical Service, garden, agriculture, and Seemätteli.
|| You receive a versatile leadership function with high individual responsibility, an exceptional working environment, and the opportunity to additionally use your professional competencies for the development of young people.
|| An appreciative, solution-oriented working climate and employment conditions according to the cantonal regulations of the Directorate for Home Affairs and Justice await you.

The Schulheim Schloss Erlach is a cantonal institution of the education system for child and youth welfare. Children and young people who are normally talented, partly with learning impairments, and who are in difficult life situations are schooled and cared for. They live in social-pedagogical residential groups mixed by age and gender and mostly attend the internal special education school. In the sense of reintegration, the institution also offers externship with day groups as well as regular school attendance in Erlach. The agricultural and gardening business, the Technical Service, housekeeping, catering, and administration are part of the pedagogical concept: they serve as learning, experience, and work fields. The institution works according to the systemically-solution-oriented approach LOA. In the support of the clientele, we orient ourselves according to the model of Cooperative Process Design (KPG).
