I am an experienced Nurse Midwife having moved from Vancouver, Canada. My background is primarily in Maternity care. Does anybody know of any English speaking opportunities at local clinics or antenatal classes. I would love to hear from other nurses or midwives with regards to gaining employment in the Geneva area.

Hi Sandra,
there are plenty of jobs for nurses both in Vaud and Geneva, however most will require fairly good french.
I used an agency in Montreux, there are a few specialising in recruitment in the medical field.

I would approach one of the private clinics which attracts international clients. I will be working in a private clinic. I know that they have recently employed an nurse who can speak very little French, however she is always working with a french speaking nurse, and many of the clients are non francophone.


You could always post an advert on this website too, The agency which found me a job contacted me after seeing an advert I had posted on this.
