As part of the CareMENS programme and to strengthen our passionate and dedicated team, we are looking for a Care Manager between 20% - 40%.

Context

The Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) is one of the 5 Swiss university hospitals. Thanks to its collaboration with the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne and EPFL, CHUV plays a leading role in medical care, medical research and education.

The Department of Clinical Neurosciences brings together the services of neurosurgery, neurology, neuropsychology and neurorehabilitation, the Leenaards Memory Centre, the Neuroscience Research Centre as well as the Spinal Surgery Service. It offers integrated and personalised care to patients suffering from diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, from brain to muscle.

Inaugurated in 2013 and led by Professor Gilles Allali, the Leenaards Memory Centre is a centre of excellence dedicated to the care and research of Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive disorders related to ageing. Combining multidisciplinary clinical expertise and cutting-edge translational research, the CLM’s mission is to improve understanding, early diagnosis and management of neurodegenerative diseases.

Mission

To sustain the benefits of therapies, a community activity and support by a care manager are added.

CareMENS patient management first requires defining their needs, implementing the necessary intervention and support, ensuring follow-up and finally setting up a prevention plan, which is co-constructed with the patient.

In addition to being trained and supported in your role as care manager, you will have many other training opportunities in the field of neurodegenerative diseases, thanks to numerous internal and external conferences, seminars or colloquia covering a variety of theoretical, experimental and clinical topics.
