The GPP guarantees respect, consistency, and the application of provisions relating to ethics, personality protection, violence prevention, whistleblower protection, and the handling of reports.
Personality Protection Advisor - 100%
As part of strengthening its governance, integrity, and reporting system, the institution is reinforcing its structure. Within a small team with whom you work collegially, your mission is to implement and carry out the personality protection system within the HUG, in accordance with the specific regulations.
You ensure the handling of reports of personality rights violations, particularly regarding discrimination, psychological harassment, and sexual harassment.
You conduct confidential listening, guidance, and, if necessary, fact-objectification interviews for employees who consider themselves victims of personality rights violations. Where appropriate, you carry out mediation processes or issue individual or collective recommendations. You may also request the intervention of external investigators. Your actions are carried out with the explicit consent of the reporting persons. You ensure traceability through documentation and follow-up of decisions and recommendations.
For resolution purposes, you may be required to interact with hierarchical managers, the occupational health service, the diversity, equity and inclusion unit, the Human Resources Department, the Legal, Integrity and Compliance Department (DJIC), security, or, where applicable, the complaints handling committee for personality rights violations, discrimination, and harassment. You thus ensure coordination while respecting the roles and responsibilities of each party.
Under the whistleblower protection regulations, a whistleblower may also request your intervention.
You also contribute to the analysis of data related to personality rights violations, violence, property damage, and institutional functioning, and make recommendations.
In the exercise of your duties, you report hierarchically to the Chairman of the Board of Directors and act independently, impartially, and autonomously, in strict compliance with legal, regulatory, and institutional frameworks. You ensure that no intervention can influence the handling of situations, the conduct of investigations, or the conclusions drawn.
Qualifications
You hold a Master’s degree in law or human sciences or an equivalent qualification, complemented by specialised training in mediation and/or conflict management, or investigation.
You have good knowledge of Geneva cantonal administrative and disciplinary law. You have 10 years of professional experience in administrative investigations, ethics and compliance, integrity systems, reporting management, or institutional governance.
An honest and responsible person, you possess excellent listening and empathy skills as well as a strong sense of negotiation and discretion. You are confident in oral communication and impartial, independent report writing, relying on your very good analytical and synthesis skills. Flexible and available, you have good resilience to stress.
To avoid any conflict of interest, the selected person cannot hold another position within public medical institutions.
You also identify with the values upheld by the HUG, which you embody in your daily actions and interactions within your team.
