What you will move with us

You take on a central senior medical role in acute geriatrics and rehabilitation and further develop your ward medically and organizationally

You lead your interprofessional team with clinical excellence, empathy, and clarity, creating an environment for all that promotes safety, a learning culture, and mutual respect.

You treat our highly complex, often multimorbid patients according to our holistic geriatric approach (mobility, cognition, delirium, nutrition, function, quality of life) and guide them evidence-based through acute and rehabilitation phases.

You conduct geriatric rounds, interprofessional case discussions, as well as family and goal clarification conversations – medically sound, ethically reflected, and humanly attentive – lead consultations and assessments, and represent geriatrics consultatively within the clinic.

You further develop treatment pathways, quality, and innovation projects (e.g., delirium management, early rehabilitation, interprofessional models).

You are a central trainer for assistant physicians: you supervise, coach, and specifically promote them in clinical decision-making, geriatric thinking, and professional attitude.

You participate in the senior medical on-call system (on-call duty, without night shifts) and bear responsibility for continuously high-quality care.

You inspire us…

with your specialist title in General Internal Medicine (or close to it) with proven interest or focus in geriatrics; a geriatric focus or corresponding further training is very welcome.

with your enthusiasm for acute and rehabilitation geriatrics and your interest in complex clinical questions beyond single diagnoses.

because you enjoy working interprofessionally and understand leadership not hierarchically but as clinically present, attentive, and reliable responsibility for patients, team, and organization.

because you enjoy teaching, structured further education, and promoting young doctors

with your good German language skills in spoken and written form and your appreciative, professional, proactive, and reflective personality that shapes change and wants to develop both professionally and personally
