Maison d'Enfants de Penthaz

PRESENTATION OF THE INSTITUTION

At the Maison d’Enfants de Penthaz, we welcome children and adolescents presenting psycho-affective, relational, and developmental vulnerabilities, which make family life and social integration difficult. We offer global educational support, integrating individual, family, school, and social dimensions, and based on an engaged, reflective, and containing educational presence.

Our institution is organized around two distinct living groups: a children's group welcoming children aged 4 to 12 and an adolescents' group welcoming young people aged 12 to 16.

The proposed position is part of the children's group, opened on 1 July 2026, which has since gradually begun welcoming children. In this new stage of its development, we wish to complete the educational team in order to continue the consolidation of the educational project, daily landmarks, and team dynamics.

We are therefore looking for a social educator at 90 % wishing to invest themselves with children aged 4 to 12 and take an active part in the development of this living group, within a dynamic, reflective, and participatory institutional approach.
