Educational Specialist

ISA Innovative Soziale Arbeit GmbH is a dedicated youth welfare organization focused on creating nurturing environments for children, adolescents, and young adults in public care.

Our guiding principle, 'Every child deserves a safe space', drives our commitment to excellence in our residential services.

The facility '13 Brunnen' in Stepfershausen is pivotal to our mission. Following a comprehensive redesign, it has been thoughtfully renovated and equipped based on therapeutic educational principles. This space is now prepared to provide a supportive home and intensive care for 5 children aged between 3 and 10 years in a small, manageable setting with well-trained, compassionate educators.

To realize this vision, we seek dedicated educational professionals who can sensitively support young individuals and find joy in actualizing our educational objectives as well as the ethos of the 13 Brunnen residential group.
