The department is located on 5 different sites that accommodate people whose health condition requires hospitalisation for geriatric care or rehabilitation treatments as well as palliative care.

Proactive, you want to contribute to the projects of a large institution such as the HUG and you identify with our institutional values?

As a physiotherapist, you develop, propose, apply and evaluate the results of physiotherapy treatments in accordance with the diagnosis and medical prescription for the patients entrusted to you. In this capacity, you participate in case conferences, patient situation discussions, and interprofessional coordination meetings.

You document patients’ records daily (treatments performed and clinical information) and enter the services provided, being concise in your information transmissions.

Thanks to your team spirit, you know how to work within a multidisciplinary team composed of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses and care staff, doctors, and you ensure efficient service delivery. In this context, you are capable of working autonomously, relying on your organisational skills and initiative.

You have excellent communication skills and demonstrate empathy and tact with internal teams and patients.

Your role involves participating in multidisciplinary projects within your department and collaborating in the training of students and health professionals.

You hold a Bachelor’s degree in physiotherapy or a physiotherapy diploma recognised and registered by the Swiss Red Cross.

The position involves mobility; experience in geriatric rehabilitation, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and palliative care would be an asset.

For non-French-speaking candidates, a C1 level in French is required.

Perfect command of common IT tools (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) is necessary to successfully carry out this mission. Mastery of HUG applications is a plus.

If you are flexible, your good organisational sense allows you to handle multiple demands simultaneously while keeping a smile, you know how to work independently while appreciating teamwork in a multidisciplinary setting, you are attracted by some mobility in your profession, and you wish to invest yourself in your duties with conviction and dynamism, do not hesitate to apply.
