You can expect extensive further training and development opportunities from us. We offer you a modern, pleasant working atmosphere as well as a thorough induction into the kitchen world. Your working days and hours are organised in a shift system from Monday to Sunday, each day between 6.00 am and 9.15 pm and without split shifts.

These and many more are reasons why the Hirslanden Clinic is one of the most attractive employers in the Swiss healthcare sector.
