Work-Life Balance

Your life is diverse and we understand that. Whether part-time, job sharing (also in leadership positions), extended maternity leave, unpaid leave, or additional holiday days instead of a 13th-month salary: we create flexible solutions with you.

Pension Benefits

We think ahead with you. With an employer contribution of 60% to pension fund contributions, we are already securing your future today so that you are well protected in retirement and your quality of life is maintained.

Location Quality

Your workplace is close to the city yet surrounded by greenery. During breaks, you breathe fresh forest air, go for a jog, or enjoy a coffee on the park bench. This makes the commute feel like a walk rather than stress.

Staff Parking & REKA Vouchers

You can reach us easily by bus, train, or car. Numerous staff parking spaces are available near the hospital at attractive conditions. Public transport instead of a car? We think that’s great and reward you with REKA vouchers offering up to 20% discount.

Further Training

Do you want to know more, be able to do more, make more of a difference? We offer you a variety of internal training opportunities for your next step, your thirst for knowledge, and your personal development.
