About the job
The Adullam Foundation is a leading institution for geriatric medicine, therapy and care in Northwestern Switzerland. It operates a hospital and an affiliated care centre each in Basel and Riehen. The approximately 800 employees offer elderly people a regionally unique all-round care from acute medicine through rehabilitation to transitional and long-term care. Holistic care at Adullam includes a high quality standard, lived humanity and great respect for old age.

In our gerontopsychiatry at the Basel site, we accompany elderly people with special needs in everyday life. Relationship, dignity and quality of life are at the centre: for our residents as well as for our employees.
