We only consider complete application documents. The documents listed here are decisive. ipw does not require a cover letter. We do not consider dossiers from recruitment agencies.
ipw treats people with all psychiatric diagnoses from childhood to old age. Around 1000 employees work in the outpatient, day clinic, inpatient and outreach services of ipw in Winterthur, Bülach, Dielsdorf and Glattbrugg. Because it takes all of us.
