Company description

With more than 13,000 employees representing 160 professions, the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève are a reference institution at national and international levels. To learn more about our institution, take a few minutes to consult our 2025 retrospective by clicking here.

With nearly 1,500 employees, the Département de réadaptation et gériatrie (DRG) constitutes a medical hub centered on the elderly person and is distributed across 5 sites: Trois-Chêne, Loëx, Bellerive, Beau-Séjour and Joli-Mont. It manages acute situations, notably thanks to the emergencies of the Hôpital des Trois-Chêne, specific age-related problems, medical rehabilitation and palliative medicine.

The department is located on 5 different sites which welcome people whose health status requires hospitalization for geriatric care or rehabilitation treatments as well as palliative care.

Job description

A proactive individual, do you want to contribute to the projects of a large institution such as the HUG and do you recognize yourself in our institutional values?

As a physiotherapist, you develop, propose, apply and evaluate the results of physiotherapy treatments in accordance with the diagnosis and medical prescription for the female and male patients entrusted to you. In this capacity, you participate in colloquiums, discussions of patient situations and interprofessional coordination meetings.

You document patient files daily (treatments performed and clinical information) and enter the services provided, showing conciseness in your information transfers.

Thanks to your collective spirit, you know how to evolve within a multidisciplinary team composed of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, nursing staff, doctors, and you provide the guarantee of efficient services. In this context, you are capable of working autonomously by relying on your sense of organization and your spirit of initiative.

You have an excellent sense of communication and demonstrate empathy as well as tact with internal teams and female and male patients.

Your function leads you to participate in the multidisciplinary projects of your department and collaborate in the training of students and healthcare professionals.

Qualifications

You hold a Bachelor's degree in physiotherapy or a physiotherapy diploma recognized and registered by the Swiss Red Cross.

As the position involves mobility, experience acquired in geriatric rehabilitation, musculoskeletal, and palliative care would be an asset.

For non-French speaking candidates, a C1 level of French is required.

A perfect mastery of common IT tools (Excel, PowerPoint, Word,) is necessary to successfully carry out this mission. Mastery of HUG applications is a plus.

If you are flexible, if your good sense of organization allows you to face several simultaneous requests while keeping a smile, if you know how to work autonomously while appreciating multidisciplinary team collaboration, if a degree of mobility in the exercise of your profession attracts you and if you wish to invest yourself in your missions with conviction and dynamism, do not hesitate to apply.
