Job Description

As part of your role, you are responsible for analyzing training needs and requests in health simulation from various clients (CiS, HES-SO, HUG, IMAD, UNIGE Faculty of Medicine).

Your professional experience in health simulation and your knowledge of adult education concepts allow you to position yourself as a key and influential player with your various contacts in partner institutions (managers, HR managers, program and pathway leaders, employees).

You are an agent of change and innovation. You are proactive and use your ability to understand job requirements to meet the simulation and/or interprofessional training needs of partner entities. Regarding simulation training services, you intervene in initial, continuing, or postgraduate training, or in trainer training.

In partnership with business management, you ensure professional monitoring to anticipate the skills evolution of tomorrow.

You participate in and lead sessions organized by the CiS management within the CiS team, partner institutions, and the Geneva health-social network, and contribute to promoting CiS achievements and activities during events.

Holding a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent diploma in a health profession, as well as university training in adult education, ideally complemented by a specialization in health professional education, you have solid experience in adult training coupled with at least three years of clinical experience in nursing.

Proven practice in health simulation (human simulation with simulated persons and mannequins), as well as in medical-nursing training and interprofessional education, are major assets.

An expert in managing training systems, designing and revising simulation scenarios, facilitating and evaluating training, you master the concepts, methods, and pedagogical tools of reference.

Good knowledge of the Geneva health sector and specifically the network of the 4 CiS partner institutions will support your success in this mission.

You have a methodical and structured approach to project management, allowing you to coordinate, prioritize activities, and manage resources. This management is carried out with a spirit of continuous improvement, serving the needs and strategic challenges of your clients and partners.

This position requires excellent oral and written communication skills to successfully conduct various negotiations and identify stakeholders’ expectations.
