With TakeCare

Placed in person, not just advertised.

The working language in Lugano is Italian. Lugano lies in the canton of Ticino; Bellinzona (22 km) are within commuting distance. Working here does not mean living here – and the other way round. The canton borders Italy: cross-border commuters with a G permit are part of everyday life here.

Frequent questions

How do I find a nursing job in Lugano?

Create a profile or apply directly to a role on this page. We get in touch, discuss workload, shift model and salary with you and also suggest roles that are not advertised – in Lugano and in the surrounding towns. For professionals this is free.

What does a registered nurse earn in Lugano?

The Swiss band for registered nurses (HF/FH) runs from CHF 6'000–6'400 gross per month (×13) at entry to CHF 6'500–7'500 with experience. Cantons differ by up to 15 percent; night, weekend and on-call shifts come on top. Where an institution in Lugano sits in the band, we tell you before the interview.

Can I work in Lugano as a cross-border commuter?

Yes. The canton borders Italy; cross-border commuters need a G permit, which the employer applies for, and as a rule return to their residence abroad weekly. A qualification earned abroad first needs recognition, depending on the profession – by the SRK for nursing, by MEBEKO for physicians. We guide you through the procedure.
