About the job

Care

ASSC within the STSA, Adult Hospitalisation Unit: UPCH

The Autism Spectrum Disorders & Related Conditions Service (STSA) is seeking several Community Care and Health Assistants (ASSC) at a workload between 70% and 90%, to strengthen the Psychiatric Hospitalisation Unit for Minors (UPCH) as part of its capacity increase. The starting date is to be agreed.

Context

The Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) is one of the 5 Swiss university hospitals. Thanks to its collaboration with the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne and EPFL, CHUV plays a leading role in medical care, medical research, and education.

The STSA is a cantonal reference service dedicated to the care of adults and children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). It consists of a tertiary centre, regional structures, and cantonal mobile teams. Its missions include training network professionals and developing clinical research, in collaboration with actors in the health, medico-social, and associative fields.

The Psychiatric Crisis Unit for People with Intellectual Disabilities (UPCHM), opened in May 2021, has 8 beds and cares for patients with autism without functional language or moderate to severe intellectual disability, in situations of decompensation or behavioural regression, with or without psychiatric comorbidity.

The creation of this unit has significantly improved patient support, both in emergencies and in the development of interdisciplinary support projects.

The innovative concept of the UPCHM is based on several pillars:

• A setting close to a living environment, rather than a traditional hospital unit
• Integrated medico-educational support, combining medical and psycho-educational skills
• Developmental and functional assessments focused on individual needs
• Behavioural analysis based on severity scales
• Reactive and preventive management of violent situations, avoiding restraint measures
• Active follow-up upon discharge, at home or in a socio-educational facility.

Mission

• You support the patients entrusted to you and compensate for the incapacities of dependent persons in daily life activities
• You ensure the execution and monitoring of activities delegated by qualified staff
• You provide, under delegation, medico-technical acts in stable situations that do not present an emergency
• You carry out administrative and logistical activities inherent to your role, mainly related to the patients under your care.

Profile

• You hold a Federal VET Diploma as a Community Care and Health Assistant (ASSC)
• You wish to invest yourself in a pioneering and interdisciplinary unit specialised in intellectual disability and child psychiatry
• You bring your creativity, organisational skills, and interpersonal abilities to the development of this specialised activity
• You demonstrate openness, flexibility, and a genuine spirit of mutual aid and collaboration
• You have at least 3 years of professional experience in the field of disability, child psychiatry, or an equivalent area.

Becoming a collaborator of the Lausanne University Hospital means benefiting from:

• First-class social benefits, 20 days paternity leave, and 4 months maternity leave (with the possibility of an additional month of breastfeeding leave)
