Personality Protection Advisor - 80% to 100%
As part of the reinforcement of its governance, integrity, and reporting system, the institution is strengthening its structure. Within a small team with which you will work collegially, your mission consists of implementing and carrying out the personality protection system within the HUG, in application of the specific regulation.
You guarantee the processing of reports of personality infringement, particularly regarding discrimination, psychological harassment, and sexual harassment.
You ensure, under the seal of total confidentiality, listening and orientation interviews and, if necessary, the objectification of facts for employees who consider themselves victims of an infringement of personality rights. If necessary, you perform a mediation process, or issue individual or collective recommendations. You may occasionally request the intervention of external investigators. Your actions are carried out with the explicit consent of the reporting persons. You ensure traceability through the maintenance of documentation and the monitoring of decisions and recommendations.
For the purpose of resolving situations, you may be required to interact with hierarchical managers, the occupational health service, the diversity equity and inclusion system, the Human Resources Directorate, the Legal, Integrity and Compliance Directorate (DJIC), security, or, if necessary, the commission for the handling of complaints regarding personality infringements, discrimination, and harassment. You thus ensure this coordination while respecting the roles and responsibilities of each.
By virtue of the whistleblower protection regulation, a whistleblower may also request your intervention.
You also contribute to the analysis of data relating to personality infringements, violence, damage to property, and institutional functioning, and formulate recommendations.
In the exercise of your functions, you are hierarchically attached to the President of the Board of Directors, and you act in an independent, impartial, and autonomous manner, in strict compliance with the legal, regulatory, and institutional framework. You ensure that no intervention can influence the handling of situations, the conduct of investigations, or the conclusions formulated.
Qualifications
You hold a Master's degree in law or humanities or any other equivalent training, completed by specialized training in mediation and/or conflict management, or in investigation.
You demonstrate good knowledge of Genevan cantonal administrative and disciplinary law. You have 10 years of professional experience in the fields of administrative investigations, ethics and compliance, integrity systems, reporting management, or institutional governance.
A person of integrity and responsibility, you possess excellent listening and empathy skills as well as a certain sense of negotiation and discretion. You are comfortable with oral communication and the writing of reports with full impartiality and independence, for which you utilize your very good capacity for analysis and synthesis. Flexible and available, you benefit from good resistance to tension.
To avoid any conflict of interest, the person selected may not hold another position within public medical establishments.
You also recognize yourself in the values upheld by the HUG, which you embody in your daily actions and interactions within your team.
