What you bring to our mission
You manage the homes under your responsibility by ensuring the management of the teams, the coordination of activities, the quality of the services provided to the beneficiaries and the overall functioning of the sites.
The word of your future leader, Chantal
"Our homes or collective accommodation centres represent much more than accommodation for migrants. These are places of life, accompaniment, learning and encounters.
In our homes, the quality of the accompaniment depends on the strength of the collective, the clarity of the framework and the commitment of the teams on a daily basis. You can rely on a dedicated interdisciplinary team — social workers, stewards, care and guidance workers, supervisors — as well as a collective of leaders of supportive and experienced homes.
We believe in sharing practices and participatory management based on trust, listening, dialogue and accountability. We are looking for a person who can unite, decide, coordinate and give meaning to action, ready to meet the challenges of professional, human and quality support."

Questions about this listing
What salary does EVAM offer for this role?
The original listing does not state a salary. Our estimate for this role and sector in Yverdon-les-Bains is CHF 83'500 - 126'500 gross per year — an estimate, not a figure communicated by EVAM. The calculator on this site converts a gross salary into your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does EVAM offer?
This listing is a full-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with EVAM during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Vaud?
EU/EFTA citizens living in an EU/EFTA state can apply for a G permit and can work anywhere in Switzerland: border zones no longer apply to them, and they must return home at least once a week. The Swiss employer files the request with Canton Vaud's migration office after the contract is signed. Processing times vary by canton, so confirm the specifics with Vaud's cantonal migration office or with HR during the application.
