The Human Resources Directorate's main mission is to ensure the development of the institution's human capital in view of organisational evolution. It constantly seeks to innovate, challenge, and improve its practices while basing its strategy on the positive experience of employees. The HUG HR policy is based on the development of skills and career paths in line with institutional needs and focuses on consideration of the individual, work-life balance, and health and safety at work.

The Diagnostic Department , composed of nine medical services, is tasked with providing diagnoses, therapeutic products, therapeutic procedures, and specialised clinical consultations of high medical quality, within the best possible timeframes and at an acceptable cost, to guide patient care and contribute to therapeutic decisions and actions.

Job Description

Assisting the head of human resources for the medical department, you provide information and advice to employees and managers on HR matters and handle administrative management for the target audience for which you are responsible, in synergy with two other HR managers. Thus, you intervene administratively throughout the entire lifecycle of our teams, from recruitment to departure, and in connection with numerous partners within the HR Directorate and the institution (salary and social insurance services, recruitment service, medical-care and technical managers, etc.).

By delegation from the head of human resources, you ensure the organisation and management of activities related to case processing while ensuring a fair distribution of priorities. You coordinate HR services according to the rules and directives of the HR Directorate, representing the institution's human resources policy.

Customer- and solution-oriented, you also identify with the values of HUG, which you embody in the exercise of your duties.

Qualifications

You hold a Federal VET Diploma as a commercial employee or an equivalent qualification in the field of human sciences, hotel business management, or economic sciences, and you have necessarily completed your initial training with the HR manager certificate.

You have a minimum of three to five years of professional experience in a similar role. Knowledge of the medical field and/or the Geneva public sector is an asset. Your experience has led you to develop a sense of discretion and confidentiality as well as strong organisational skills.

You have a very good command of common IT tools such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, as well as collaborative tools (SharePoint, Teams, etc.).

You have perfect command of the French language, both spoken and written.

Flexible, rigorous, organised, and possessing good interpersonal skills, you know how to work in a team and develop harmonious relationships with your interlocutors, demonstrating diplomacy and tact.
