Nursing Specialist Responsibility (m/f/d), Gerontopsychiatry, 80 - 100 %

About the job

Gerontopsychiatry demands more than nursing knowledge.

It needs people who observe carefully, want to understand behaviour, can manage crises and approach challenging situations with respect, calmness and humour.

Do you want to help shape gerontopsychiatry professionally and support people with mental illnesses in old age in a professional manner? In autumn 2026, we will expand our existing gerontopsychiatry department in the new building and specifically enhance care. You can expect a committed team where you actively contribute your expertise and experience, professionally support staff in the demanding daily nursing routine, and jointly promote quality and development. We look forward to welcoming you.

The Regional Nursing Centre Baden is one of the largest providers of long-term care in Switzerland. We offer our residents of all ages specialised professional nursing and care in various areas of expertise. Our headquarters in Baden (AG) is currently being comprehensively modernised through new construction and renovations and supplemented with 86 new retirement apartments.

For the RPB location in Baden, we are immediately seeking a competent, reliable and committed individual as Nursing Specialist Responsibility (m/f/d).
