starting December 1, 2026, or by arrangement for our counseling center in Huttwil.

The Sozialdienst Region Trachselwald supports and advises people in difficult life situations from thirteen municipalities in the Emmental and Oberaargau. Our team works at two counseling centers in Huttwil and in Sumiswald. As a social worker, you will receive valuable support in social work from us through the Administration team, the Accounting team, and a lawyer, as well as regular intervision and supervision. We work in modernly equipped offices with digital file management. Thanks to the continuous optimization of our service, we have already been able to reduce the caseload. For an optimal start, we offer you a further reduced number of cases during the induction phase. Our employment conditions are based on cantonal specifications as well as our own personnel regulations. We offer generous social benefits, free parking spaces, and other benefits, which we will be happy to explain in a personal conversation.

Your tasks ###

are the personal counseling of individuals and families and their support with economic assistance, the management of legal guardianship in child and adult protection, and the performance of assessments based on reports of danger for the benefit of the KESB.

You bring ###

a diploma from a University of Applied Sciences for Social Work HFS/FH/BSc or another equivalent qualification. Or is your degree within reach? Then apply! We wish for a reliable person with an independent and networked way of thinking. Are you resilient, can you set boundaries, do you have good administrative skills and solid IT user knowledge (Word, Excel, possibly KLIB)?

You will take over cases in stages and thus be able to gradually familiarize yourself with the areas of social assistance and/or child and adult protection. Team meetings and regular personal conversations make it possible to exchange ideas about questions and methods and to benefit from one another. You have the opportunity at any time to participate in further training - internal or external.
