About GEDI

GEDI is a non-profit social services organization based in Catalonia, Spain, dedicated to supporting vulnerable populations through a wide range of programs. Its services include residential care for children and youth, family therapy, elderly care, community integration, and employment guidance. Operating across multiple towns in Catalonia, GEDI works in partnership with public administrations to deliver social welfare services, making it a key player in the region's social sector.

For international professionals, GEDI offers an opportunity to work in a meaningful, people-centered environment within Spain's social services system. While the organization primarily operates in Catalan-speaking areas, it values diverse perspectives and provides roles for educators, psychologists, therapists, and support staff. The organization's presence in cities like Barcelona, Manresa, and Granollers means employees can experience both urban and semi-urban life in Catalonia, though a working knowledge of Catalan or Spanish is typically essential for direct care roles.
