For one of our clients, a renowned hospital structure located in the Canton of Vaud, we are looking for a physiotherapist M/F to join the geriatric rehabilitation service at an activity rate of 80% from 17 August to 11 September 2026.

In this position, you will take charge of elderly patients presenting functional disorders resulting from an illness, an intervention, or an accident, with the aim of promoting their recovery and supporting their return home under the best possible conditions. You will participate in the evaluation of their mobility, autonomy, and physical capacities, then contribute to the implementation of individualized treatments adapted to their health status, their rehabilitation goals, and their evolution.

Your missions cover the entire physiotherapeutic follow-up, from anamnesis and needs analysis to the readjustment of care based on observed progress. You will perform functional physiotherapy sessions, mobilization, muscle strengthening, balance work, walking, and fall prevention. You will accompany patients in resuming their daily activities and contribute to maintaining or restoring their physical functions in a logic of global rehabilitation.

You will collaborate closely with doctors, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, and the entire multidisciplinary team in order to ensure consistent, coordinated, and patient-centered care. You will participate in clinical exchanges, transmit your observations precisely, and ensure the continuity of useful information for therapeutic follow-up.

You will also ensure that your communication is adapted to the capacities and rhythm of each patient, by establishing a relationship of trust that promotes adherence to treatment. Depending on the needs of the service, you will contribute to the organization of priorities, the documentary follow-up related to treatments, and the continuous improvement of the quality of care provided.
You hold a HES bachelor's degree in physiotherapy or a title deemed equivalent and recognized by the Swiss Red Cross. Initial experience in a hospital setting, in rehabilitation, or in geriatrics is an asset, but motivated recent graduates are also welcome.

To succeed in this function, you possess solid technical skills in functional evaluation, in the care of elderly patients, and in the development of treatments adapted to varied clinical situations. You master the basic gestures of rehabilitation, demonstrate good observation skills, and know how to adjust your interventions based on the evolution of the patient's condition.

Beyond your professional skills, you distinguish yourself by excellent contact with patients, attentive listening, and a real capacity to create a reassuring and respectful climate. You are a motivated, autonomous, flexible, and rigorous person, capable of integrating quickly into a multidisciplinary team and collaborating effectively with different stakeholders.

Your sense of responsibility, your spirit of initiative, and your capacity for adaptation allow you to manage a sustained activity while maintaining a high level of quality in your services. You communicate with ease, demonstrate discretion, and an irreproachable professional behavior towards patients as well as your colleagues.
