Job Description ##
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 work in a collegiate manner, your mission is to implement and carry out the personality protection system within the HUG, in accordance with the specific regulations.
You ensure the handling of declarations of attacks on personality, particularly in matters of discrimination, psychological harassment, and sexual harassment.
You ensure, under the seal of total confidentiality, listening, orientation, and, if necessary, objectification interviews for staff members who feel they are victims of an attack on their personality rights. If necessary, you conduct a mediation process or issue individual or collective recommendations. You may also request the intervention of external investigators. Your actions are carried out with the explicit consent of the declarants. You ensure traceability through documentation and follow-up 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 Department, the Legal, Integrity, and Compliance Department (DJIC), security, or, if necessary, the commission for handling complaints regarding attacks on personality, discrimination, and harassment. You ensure this coordination while respecting the roles and responsibilities of each.
Under the whistleblower protection regulations, a whistleblower may also request your intervention.
You also contribute to the analysis of data related to attacks on personality, violence, property damage, and institutional functioning, and formulate recommendations.
In the exercise of your functions, you are hierarchically attached to the President of the Administrative Board and act independently, impartially, and autonomously, in strict respect of the legal, regulatory, and institutional framework. You ensure that no intervention can influence the handling of situations, the conduct of investigations, or the conclusions drawn.
Qualifications ##
You have a Master's degree in law or human sciences or equivalent training, complemented by specialized training in mediation and/or conflict management or investigation.
You have good knowledge of Geneva's cantonal administrative and disciplinary law. You have 10 years of professional experience in the fields of administrative investigations, ethics, and compliance, integrity systems, complaint handling, or institutional governance.

You are comfortable with oral communication and report writing in complete impartiality and independence, using your very good analytical and synthesis skills. You are flexible, available, and have good resistance to stress.
To avoid any conflict of interest, the selected person will not be able to hold another position within the public medical establishments.
