About the job
You or you?
For us, the matter is clear. We live a culture of addressing each other informally. Therefore, we communicate in this manner already during the application process and in the interviews.
What you achieve with us makes sense!
The Uster homes are not an anonymous large company. We are a public-law institution for long-term care with a wide range of services. Around 340 employees take care of the 220 residents with enthusiasm and empathy. You fit perfectly with us if the well-being of elderly people is close to your heart, if you value professionalism and if authenticity, friendliness and openness are important to you in daily interactions. We meet each other at eye level across all hierarchical levels and live a respectful culture of informal address.
