• Operations & maintenance: You ensure the smooth operation of all technical systems (nurse call system, etc.), coordinate maintenance with external partners, and are a "hands-on" person who pitches in when needed.

Your profile: A proactive personality with foresight

• Professional qualification: Completed apprenticeship as a specialist in operational maintenance EFZ, building technician, or a comparable craft/technical qualification with relevant further training.
• Further training: Completed training as a safety officer (SiBe) or willingness to obtain this qualification.
• Professional experience: Several years of experience in technical building maintenance, ideally in a nursing home, hospital, or a similar facility with high safety standards.

What awaits you: An exciting role with plenty of scope for creativity

• A responsible and meaningful position at the heart of the house.
• A motivated team with professional expertise.
