About the job
Not keen on the classic hospital structure and rigid procedures? Here you will find a modern psychiatric setting that lies between outpatient and inpatient care – with a working day that also takes you out to the patients.
You will work in an innovative treatment model that is gaining increasing importance in Switzerland: equivalent inpatient treatment in the home environment. Your patients remain in their familiar surroundings and are therapeutically supported there – a genuine alternative to inpatient admission.
For you, this means: less classic "ward routine", but more direct work with people – in the daily lives of the patients. You will regularly be out and about, conducting home visits and experiencing psychiatry in a context much closer to practice than in a hospital setting.
The team is deliberately kept small and interdisciplinary: doctors, psychologists and nursing staff work closely together, with leadership shared in tandem between medical management, psychology and nursing. Hierarchies are flat, and decisions are made collectively.
Your responsibilities:
- Initial assessment of new patients in the home setting (variable, 1-3 per day)
- Professional supervision of assistant doctors
- Participation in treatment planning and therapy structure
- Medication adjustment and monitoring of progress
- Participation in / leading interdisciplinary team meetings and supervisions
Your skills:
- Specialist qualification in psychiatry and psychotherapy
- 1-3 years of experience after specialist training, ideally with senior physician responsibilities
- Interest in a new, mobile treatment setting
- Enjoyment of interdisciplinary collaboration
- Openness to a co-leadership role in the team
- Structured and independent working style
- Good German language skills (at least B2)
Your benefits:
- Entry into a senior role with development prospects
- Innovative treatment concept between outpatient and inpatient care
- Mobile working day with high variety
- Small teams with close collaboration and flat hierarchies
- Very good work-life balance
- At least 25 days of holiday
- Staff accommodation available for starting in Switzerland
- Above-average contribution to the pension fund
- Additional family and childcare allowances
- Support for further training and education
- Various discounts (sports, pharmacy, mobility)
