an EMS Director

The Donatella Mauri Foundation is an institution dedicated to psychiatry for the elderly (psychogeriatrics). Located in Romanel-sur-Lausanne, we accommodate 58 long-stay residents and have an in-house Temporary Reception Centre (CAT) with a capacity of 10 beneficiaries. The Foundation is a closed structure. However, to allow residents who still retain some independence to enjoy freedom of movement, free passages provide access to the garden and terraces.

Following the departure of the current Director, the Board of Trustees of the Donatella Mauri Foundation is recruiting

with the aim of continuing the essential mission of the establishment and ensuring the continuity of the quality of care offered to our residents.

Main responsibilities of the position

• Social responsibility: guarantee the quality of life, respect, dignity and daily support of the residents.
• Financial and administrative responsibility: ensure the smooth running of the Foundation, manage budgets, supervise administrative processes and ensure regulatory compliance.
• Admission policy: lead the admission policy for new residents, in liaison with families, network partners and competent authorities.
• Management of major projects: lead and coordinate the Foundation’s strategic projects, notably a major upcoming real estate project – the creation of sheltered apartments near the current structure.
• External representation: represent the EMS with institutional partners, authorities and the social-health network, and actively contribute to the reputation and influence of the Foundation.

Profile sought

We are looking for a manager with several years of experience and strong administrative and social skills. At the head of the Donatella Mauri Foundation, you are able to bring:

• Organisational coherence in a structure of nearly 100 employees;
• Team cohesion and humane leadership, adapted to the field of psychogeriatrics;
• The ability to work in partnership with care, activity, hospitality, administrative teams as well as network actors;
• A clear, pragmatic vision oriented towards the continuity of the Foundation’s values;
• Proven experience in project management, ideally in a social or medico-social context.

Experience in managing a social or medico-social institution, or in a leadership role involving significant human and organisational responsibilities, is a decisive asset.
