With TakeCare
Placed in person, not just advertised.
Housing is the hard part of the maths: Geneva's vacancy rate has sat below one percent for years (Federal Statistical Office), and rents are among Switzerland's highest. Many colleagues therefore commute in from Vaud or from France, which the Léman Express makes workable on day shifts. Before you sign, check how your roster fits the last train — and add rent to salary before comparing cantons.

Frequent questions
Can I work in Geneva as a cross-border commuter, and where do I pay tax?
Yes, with a G permit. Unlike the other cantons on the French border, Geneva taxes your salary at source and pays financial compensation to the neighbouring French departments. As a commuter you also get a one-time choice between the Swiss basic health scheme (LAMal/KVG) and the French system. Settle both before signing — these decisions can only be corrected within narrow limits.
What does a nurse earn in Geneva?
In the public sector, pay follows a cantonal scale of classes and annual steps rather than your negotiating skill; private clinics are not bound by it. Swiss bands for registered nurses (HF/FH): CHF 6,000–6,400 gross per month (×13) at entry to CHF 7,300–8,500 with a clinical specialisation; FaGe, the healthcare assistant apprenticeship, CHF 4,500 to CHF 6,000. Recognised prior years raise your step: bring complete references.
Is my foreign nursing diploma recognised in Geneva?
For nursing, the Swiss Red Cross (SRK/CRS) decides; once recognised, you are listed in the national register NAREG. Commuters from France usually hold the French state diploma, which goes through the same procedure. From a complete dossier, allow up to four months. We take the procedure over: we file the application and cover the costs. Geneva institutions usually want the decision in hand before you start; whether, and for how long, you may work in nursing without it is up to the canton.
