Company Description

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

With nearly 1,500 employees, the Department of Rehabilitation and Geriatrics (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, age-specific problems, medical rehabilitation, and palliative medicine.

Located in the heart of a park on the Belle-Idée estate, the Hôpital des Trois-Chêne welcomes people whose health status requires hospitalization for acute geriatric care or rehabilitation treatments. The Hospital has a state-of-the-art radiology unit as well as an emergency service that can accommodate patients aged 75 and over, excluding life-threatening emergencies.

Job Description

As a nurse within the intermediate care unit of the Hôpital des Trois-Chêne ("unit 13 +"), you ensure, autonomously and/or under medical delegation, the global and personalized management of elderly patients requiring continuous monitoring due to their acute care situation or requiring intensive therapy (cardioversion).

In particular, you provide care for acute geriatric patients with specific equipment (arterial catheter, central venous line-) and exercise increased monitoring (management of non-invasive ventilation, amines). You combine this technicality with multidimensional, relational, social, and ethical management.

You evolve within an interprofessional team and coordinate the care services provided to the clientele. You also exercise a supervisory and teaching function for people in training and new employees.

Finally, you contribute to the development of the quality of care and lead professional reflection based on the analysis of nursing care practices.

Qualifications

You benefit from a HES Bachelor in nursing or an equivalent nursing degree recognized by the Swiss Red Cross. A complementary certifying training in elderly care is a real asset.

A specialized training in intermediate care is required or must be acquired during employment.

Two years of experience in a hospital setting in an acute care unit is indispensable. Experience in intermediate care as well as in the management of elderly people is strongly recommended.

You possess great rigor as well as a keen sense of organization and priority management, demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills, and have a marked interest in the follow-up of elderly patients. You also have perfect adaptation and stress management abilities when facing very acute care situations.

You know how to be reactive and are endowed with an excellent capacity to analyze clinical situations.

Thanks to your team spirit and communication skills, you work in interprofessionality to unite all partners around a common vision to develop care projects for the optimal management of patients and their relatives. You appreciate collaboration and multidisciplinary teamwork.

Ease with IT tools is necessary to successfully carry out this mission, as well as a very good knowledge of the French language.
