Why is Switzerland so irresistible to live and work in? Switzerland has it all: a prime location in the heart of Europe, easily accessible by train, car, and plane, and an impressive infrastructure. Everything works here: punctual trains, several international airports, and a healthcare system the world envies. But Switzerland is more than just efficiency and perfectly organized systems. It's a country with a rich, fascinating history and impressive cultural diversity. Four official languages—German, French, Italian, and the charming Romansh language—bring color to daily life. Each of the 26 cantons has its own character, traditions, and pride. And the Swiss? They might be a bit reserved at first, but believe us: once you're welcomed, you'll truly feel at home. We speak from experience!

Switzerland excels in healthcare, in particular: its system is among the absolute world leaders. Quality, safety, and innovation go hand in hand here. Healthcare professionals are given freedom, appreciation, and attractive employment conditions – all with a relatively low workload. More time for your patients, more balance for yourself. Curious? Experience it for yourself! Schedule a "Chum & Lueg" – in other words: come and see and experience – and discover what it's like to work in Swiss healthcare!

Practical information
Switzerland has been a leader for years: healthcare institutions are accustomed to collaborating with colleagues from all over the world and offer a modern, constantly evolving healthcare system. It's no wonder the Swiss healthcare system is considered one of the best in Europe. Whether you dream of a job in a vibrant city or prefer a quieter, more charming area – there are plenty of opportunities everywhere in Switzerland. Especially in the German-speaking and German-French regions, there are countless vacancies. One thing is certain: working in Swiss healthcare means professional and personal enrichment.
In Switzerland, we work every day to connect healthcare professionals with the right employer. And we don't just do that: we collaborate with a wide range of healthcare institutions. Think of large university hospitals, cantonal and regional hospitals, modern private clinics, and specialized centers such as psychiatric institutions and children's hospitals. Rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, home care organizations, and disability care facilities are also part of our network. What do all these institutions have in common? They rely on our knowledge and experience to find qualified—often international—care professionals. With our solid reputation in the Swiss healthcare sector, we ensure that your step towards a new challenge is both professional and personal.
Are you looking to work as a healthcare professional in the German-speaking part of Switzerland? Then it's wise to apply for professional registration immediately. Many employers consider it important that you've already started this process. Keep in mind that you'll need to demonstrate that you have a minimum proficiency in German at B2 level—a clear step towards a flying start in Swiss healthcare. Is your language level not (quite) up to par yet? No worries! We'll work with you to develop a smart and feasible language plan. With the help of our experienced teachers and language schools – both local and international – we ensure that you can embark on your Swiss adventure confidently and well-prepared.
While Switzerland isn't an EU member, there's good news: if you're from an EU-27 or EFTA country, you don't need a work permit to start working. You will, however, need a residence permit if you're staying longer than three months. Fortunately, this can be arranged quickly. As soon as you register in your new Swiss residence – and no, you don't need to deregister in your home country – your residence permit will be applied for automatically. You can apply for it at your new municipality within one to two weeks.
