The girls' home in Bremen is looking for a social worker* (or comparable qualification) to work in the girls'* residential group in Bremen's Neustadt district (residential youth care §§34 and 35a SGB VIII) starting on August 1, 2026, with 30 hours per week in shift work.
We are looking for a woman* interested in feminist, intercultural, and trauma-informed work, and we particularly welcome applications from women* with a migration background, women of color, and Black women*. Perspectives and experiences from lived realities affected by racism are especially important for our work with girls*. As a social organization, we are in a continuous process of establishing and developing anti-racist, discrimination-sensitive, and intersectional practices.
The group home houses girls* aged 14 and older with varying psychosocial challenges and diverse coping strategies, all from different backgrounds. What they all have in common is that they can no longer live with their families of origin and have consciously chosen to live in a girls' group home.
