Company description

With more than 13,000 employees representing 160 professions, the Geneva University Hospitals are a reference institution at the national and international level. To learn more about our institution, take a few minutes to consult our 2025 retrospective by clicking here.

With nearly 1,500 employees, the Department of Rehabilitation and Geriatrics (DRG) is a medical centre focused on the elderly and is spread over 5 sites: Trois-Chêne, Loëx, Bellerive, Beau-Séjour and Joli-Mont. It manages acute situations, notably through the emergency department of the Trois-Chêne Hospital, age-specific issues, medical rehabilitation and palliative care.

Located in the heart of a park on the Belle-Idée estate, the Trois-Chêne Hospital welcomes people whose health condition requires hospitalisation for acute geriatric care or rehabilitation treatments. The hospital has a state-of-the-art radiology unit as well as an emergency service that can accommodate patients aged 75 and over, excluding life-threatening emergencies.

Job description

As a nurse within the intermediate care unit of the Trois-Chêne Hospital ("unit 13 +"), you autonomously and/or under medical delegation provide comprehensive and personalised care for elderly patients requiring continuous monitoring due to their acute care situation or needing intensive therapy (cardioversion).

In particular, you care for acute geriatric patients with specific equipment (arterial catheter, central venous line…) and perform enhanced monitoring (management of non-invasive ventilation, amines). You combine this technical expertise with multidimensional, relational, social and ethical care.

You work within an interprofessional team and coordinate the care services provided to patients. You also perform a supervisory and teaching role for trainees and new employees.

Finally, you contribute to the development of care quality and engage in professional reflection based on the analysis of nursing practices.

Qualifications

You hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing or an equivalent nursing diploma recognised by the Swiss Red Cross. Additional certified training in elderly care is a real asset.

Specialised training in intermediate care is required or must be acquired during employment.

Two years’ experience in a hospital acute care unit is essential. Experience in intermediate care and elderly patient management is strongly recommended.

You possess great rigour as well as a keen sense of organisation and priority management, demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills and have a strong interest in the follow-up of elderly patients. You also have excellent adaptability and stress management skills in very acute care situations.

You are reactive and have an excellent ability to analyse clinical situations.

Thanks to your team spirit and communication skills, you work interprofessionally to unite all partners around a common vision to develop care projects aimed at optimal care for patients and their relatives. You appreciate collaboration and working in a multidisciplinary team.

Comfort with IT tools is necessary to successfully carry out this mission, as well as a very good knowledge of the French language.
