Physiotherapist for the Medical Department

To complete our Medical Department team, we are looking for a physiotherapist at 80%–100%, on a permanent contract, for a start as soon as possible.

Context

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

The Internal Medicine Department is a reference center for non-surgical acute care, notably in pulmonology, gastroenterology, nephrology, palliative care, internal medicine, and intermediate care.

Physiotherapists work across all internal medicine units with hospitalized patients in acute care, with sometimes complex and always varied care.

The activity revolves around four main areas:

• cardio-respiratory
• musculoskeletal
• angiology
• swallowing

Interprofessional work and evidence-based recommendations are at the heart of daily practice.

Mission

You ensure the identification, planning, execution, and evaluation of physiotherapy services in preventive, curative, palliative, and educational fields, respecting professional and institutional standards.

• You actively participate in the organization of work and continuity of unit activities, thanks to your communication and interprofessional coordination skills.
• You develop prevention actions, health promotion, functional rehabilitation, and social reintegration.
• You contribute to the continuous improvement of services based on evidence and actively participate in the development of the profession.

Profile

You hold a Bachelor of Science in physiotherapy (or an equivalent title recognized by the Red Cross, mandatory).

• You have experience in geriatrics or acute care.
• You have the ability to manage acute and complex clinical situations.
• You are open to change and motivated to evolve in a demanding university environment.
• You possess excellent interpersonal skills and a strong interest in interdisciplinary collaboration.
• You master spoken and written French (certified C1 level).
• You are comfortable with computer tools and electronic patient records.

Depending on the candidate's profile, the salary scale will be between 8 and 9.

We offer

Becoming a collaborator at the Lausanne University Hospital means benefiting from:

• Top social benefits, 20 days paternity leave, and 4 months maternity leave (with the possibility of an additional month of breastfeeding leave).
• Regular salary progression adapted to responsibilities.
• A 13th salary and 25 days of vacation per year.
• A right to at least three days of training per year, with access to a varied offer within the CHUV Training Center and partner training centers of the State of Vaud.
• Facilitated access to one of the 500 furnished apartments offered in the surrounding neighborhoods for people relocating to Switzerland from abroad.
• Social, cultural, and economic benefits offered to members of the H-Oxygène association.
• Benefits offered within the mobility plan (discounts on public transport subscriptions, promotion of "Mobility" vehicles, and discounts on the purchase of electric bikes).
• Quality hotel-style company restaurants in each hospital building with preferential rates.
