Knowledge is a valuable raw material
Advanced training and further education is important to us, and we therefore support our employees’ learning activities. Balgrist University Hospital offers internal and external ongoing training opportunities alike and positions them in the context of the individual’s own long term career plan.
Working at a centre of health
Balgrist University Hospital lies at the centre of the Lengg site, which accommodates several clinics and centres of research. Its workforce of around 9000 makes it the largest location for health in Switzerland, and it will grow bigger still in the future. From the Stadelhofen station, take Tram 11 or the Forchbahn towards Esslingen, and in 10 minutes you’ll arrive at the “Balgrist” stop, which is directly opposite the clinic of the same name.
Ample catering options
Our employees enjoy spending their breaks in the Balgrist Restaurant, which offers a modern, well-lit, inviting ambience in which to linger a while. It’s also worth taking a good look at our menu options: you can choose from a variety of meals plus a generous salad buffet and snacks, such as sandwiches, cakes and desserts. Mineral water is available free of charge.
Crèche
The Balgrist values the individual’s ability to combine a career with family life – and makes sure that your youngster is well looked after while you work. Our clinic subsidises a number of places at a local nursery, which is within walking distance of the clinic.
Sports facilities
If you work with us, you can take advantage of the specialist skills of our exercise experts. Our employees can train at discounted rates at the centre for sports medicine. Balgrist also has running groups, and this area features a variety of jogging routes – the ideal way to clear your head and recharge your batteries.
