Educational Specialist Therapeutic Day Care Center

The Therapeutic Day Care Center (HPT) at Martin-Luther-Haus. At the HPT we accompany children from primary school age up to 6th grade with special support needs in the social and emotional area. In small groups we create a reliable framework in which relationships, individual support and joint learning are the focus. What characterizes our work: intensive pedagogical support, close teamwork and the shared goal of opening up new perspectives for children.

• You accompany and support children with behavioral problems and mental disabilities, mainly between 11:00 - 16:10.
• Independently and in a team you develop creative pedagogical offers and shape a group daily routine in which children can unfold.
• With an eye on their individual needs and strengths you design the educational and support planning of the individual children within the framework of case conferences and in cooperation with the specialist services.
• You work closely with schools, specialist services and other partners.
• You meet parents and caregivers openly, appreciatively and at eye level.

• Training as a state-recognized educator or curative education nurse or completed degree in Social Work or Special Education

• In daily pedagogical work you give children support and orientation. You respond sensitively and reflectively to their needs.
• In challenging situations you demonstrate composure. You know how to assert yourself in a pedagogically valuable way.
• You feel connected to our diaconal mission and are happy to uphold it.
