HR Specialist at 60%

For over 35 years, CENAS has been supporting patients in the diagnosis and management of sleep disorders. Present in Geneva and Bulle, we bring together specialist doctors, psychologists, technicians and administrative staff around a shared ambition: to bring joy, energy and desire back into patients’ daily lives by restoring their natural ability to sleep well.

Joining CENAS means becoming part of a growing and transforming human-scale organisation, where collaboration, excellence, innovation and attention to both patients and staff are at the heart of our daily work.

You will work in a dynamic, multi-site and multidisciplinary environment, in contact with committed teams serving specialised medicine with a strong impact on health and well-being.

Your mission

You are the local HR contact for a scope of around 60 employees spread across CENAS, CISG and Efficium, on three sites: Geneva, Chêne-Bourg and Bulle.

In a growing and evolving environment, your role is twofold: to support teams and managers in their daily HR challenges and to help structure the HR practices and processes necessary for the organisation’s development.

Highly present on the ground, you support the various stages of the employee life cycle and actively contribute to HR and organisational transformation projects.

Your responsibilities

Local HR support

• Be a recognised and accessible HR contact point for employees and managers.
• Listen, advise and support individual and collective situations with discernment, confidentiality and pragmatism.
• Contribute to creating conditions that foster engagement, collaboration and team retention.

Manager support

• Advise managers on their daily HR issues and support them in developing their managerial skills.
• Support them in preparing and conducting key moments: onboarding, probation follow-up, feedback, development, annual reviews, career progression or departure.
• Provide a framework and tools to gradually develop their autonomy in managing their teams.

Employee life cycle & HR processes

• Structure, harmonise and evolve key employee life cycle processes,
• Ensure these processes are simple, coherent, understood and genuinely used by teams and managers.
• Identify and consolidate team development needs.
• Coordinate training requests and help structure a coherent approach to skills development.

Change management & transformation

• Support organisational changes related to the company’s growth and transformation.
• Identify the human impacts of changes, anticipate possible resistance and support managers and employees through the various stages of transformation.
• Contribute to evolving HR practices according to the needs of a growing and structuring organisation.

Individual relations & HR framework

• Autonomously manage individual situations requiring HR expertise: absenteeism, performance, relational difficulties, warnings, contract terminations or other sensitive situations.
• Ensure consistent, fair practices compliant with Swiss labour law, with occasional support from external partners when necessary.

Your profile

You have proven experience in operational HR, ideally gained in an SME, a multi-site organisation or a rapidly growing and transforming environment.

You are comfortable in organisations where processes sometimes need to be built or adapted as they develop.

You notably bring:

• 5 to 10 years of experience in a generalist HR role, HR Business Partner or People Operations
• practical experience in change management
• a demonstrated ability to structure and deploy HR processes in a growing environment;
• a good command of Swiss labour law and its operational challenges;
• a real ability to support and challenge managers pragmatically;
• a strong presence on the ground and the ability to quickly build trust;
• a structured, autonomous and solution-oriented approach;
• the ability to navigate an evolving environment, prioritise and advance several topics simultaneously.

Experience in healthcare, hospitality, services or any other operational environment with varied hours and professions is an asset.

You know how to combine listening and rigour, proximity and framework, human support and structuring of practices.

Scope of the position

The position is deliberately focused on HR support for teams, managers, transformations and the employee life cycle.

Payroll management, recruitment and routine HR administration are not the core of the role.
