Build your career at the Charité

Behind the scenes at the Charité:
Working at Germany's best university clinic

Efficient management is necessary with 20.000 employees, 2.3 billion euros in revenue, 800,000 patients a year and 9,000 students. And this is where you come in!


Media coverage of the Charité usually focuses on the doctors, researchers or nursing professionals who do a great job at the Charité. For example, they have developed the world's first Covid-19 test. Such achievements are made possible by the efficient administration in the background, which ensures smooth processes.
IT staff, purchasing, HR staff and many other employees work behind the scenes at Europe’s largest university hospital. Whether office work or innovative digitization projects, every task is important and contributes to one goal: developing the medicine of tomorrow.
