The Human Resources Directorate's main mission is to ensure the development of the institution's human capital in view of organisational evolution. It constantly seeks to innovate, challenge, and improve its practices while basing its strategy on the positive experience of employees. The HUG HR policy is based on the development of skills and career paths in line with institutional needs and focuses on taking into account the individual, work-life balance, and health and safety at work.

The Competency Development Centre of the Geneva University Hospitals is looking for a training officer to join the continuing education team. Aligned with the human resources directorate's strategy, this sector supports the heads of professional fields and departments in their continuing education activities and contributes to the development of the training offer to meet the needs of the institution and the various professional sectors.

As part of your role, you are responsible for analysing training needs and requests from clients at various levels of the institution, advising them, and supporting them in implementing appropriate training actions.

Your professional experience in adult education and your knowledge of its concepts enable you to position yourself as a key and influential player with your various interlocutors (managers, human resources managers…). You are an agent of change and innovation. You are proactive and mobilise your ability to understand the demands of professions in order to meet the institution's training needs. You are a driver of the transition of continuing education systems into the era of hybrid learning, within a collective intelligence approach.

You also ensure professional monitoring, in partnership with professional directorates and other HR directorate services, to anticipate the skills of tomorrow and ensure that the training implemented meets these new needs.

In the context of the ongoing organisational transformation of the Training and Development Centre, you do not hesitate to make improvement proposals. In regular contact with the various members of the teaching team and your administrative colleagues, you promote collaborative work and team spirit, enthusiasm, and an innovation dynamic. You invest yourself alongside them to support the transformation of the Training and Development Centre, particularly the continuing education sector.

Holding a university Master’s degree ideally in adult education, complemented by a postgraduate qualification such as a CAS in adult education, change management, HR, skills development, or coaching, you have a minimum of 5 years’ professional experience in a similar role. Experience in the health and/or social sector would be an asset to facilitate your success in this mission serving HUG and partner institutions.

Experience in a similar role and/or as a training consultant and/or coach, as well as in change management support, are also important assets.

You have a methodical and structured approach to project management, enabling you to coordinate and prioritise activities, manage internal and/or external resources, while addressing budgetary aspects. This management is carried out with a spirit of continuous improvement, serving the needs and strategic challenges of your clients and partners.

This position requires excellent oral and written communication skills to successfully conduct various negotiations and identify stakeholders’ expectations.
