What we offer you:

The THW is subject to the Measles Protection Act. All employees must provide proof of immunity or a medical contraindication before employment. For persons born before 31.12.1970, natural measles protection is assumed, so no proof is required.

The THW stands for diversity and equal opportunity.

With us, you will find exciting tasks in a unique environment. For us, the job is not just a job: We support the compatibility of family, caregiving duties, and profession, e.g., through telework, mobile working, and flexible working hour design. We are convinced that mixed teams achieve the best results and promote diversity in every form.

The advertised position is suitable for part-time staffing. We are particularly interested in applications from women. Applications from severely disabled people and those treated as such will be given preferential consideration if they are equally qualified. Only a minimum level of physical fitness is required.

If you have a foreign university degree, we require a certificate evaluation issued by the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB). It classifies your foreign university degree into the German education system. We ask you to search for your degree in the information portal anabin (https://anabin.kmk.org/anabin.html) and attach the certificate evaluation to your application. If your degree cannot be found there, a certificate evaluation (https://zab.kmk.org/de/zeugnisbewertung) must be requested.
