The title "Head of social and socio-medical organizations (HFP)" replaces the previous job titles "Head of institution in the social or socio-medical sector (HFP)" and "Head of care home (HFP)" as of February 2023 and 2011 respectively. The Higher Professional Examination (HFP) is the final step in the training model for management tasks in the social and socio-medical sector, which has a modular structure and can be completed on a part-time basis. Admission to the course is granted upon presentation of proof of competence from the professional examination in team management.
In their area of responsibility, institution managers should take into account the demands and needs of those affected within the institution as well as the stakeholders and opinions that influence the institution from outside. They should therefore have sound management skills and manage a successful institution thanks to their economic mindset, their marketing know-how and their public sensitivity. The development strategy must always be adapted to the needs of staff and clients.
The one to three-year training course ends with a review of the skills acquired during the course. Only after this can the appropriate exercise of this demanding management activity as an institution manager (formerly home manager, now: manager of social and socio-medical organizations) be sought. Further information can be obtained directly from the schools offering the courses. You can order free and non-binding documents from the schools via this page using the inquiry form.
