We Excel in Research, Teaching, and Care

With our 400-year history, we are one of the oldest university hospitals in the German-speaking world – and simultaneously one of the most modern.

Our Commercial Director Philip Rieger sums it up: “Excellent work is done here, and the good reputation of UKW attracts people from all over the world to Mainfranken” – both patients seeking the best possible treatment and employees looking for a top employer. The hospital is among the best addresses in Germany.

In seven building complexes, 19 clinics, three polyclinics, and four clinical institutes, we employ over 7,000 staff members and provide medical and therapeutic care to over 330,000 patients annually.

Thanks to close collaboration with the Medical Faculty of the University of Würzburg and other institutes, we are among the world leaders in many areas.

“The hospital is a beacon in research, teaching, and care – and also an example of economic success.” And the best part is: We not only do our work well, our work does good. For the people who need our help and for the region.

We Ensure Health

As the only hospital in Lower Franconia, we offer our patients maximum medical
care at the highest level. Technically perfectly equipped, located in the center of Germany, and excellently staffed.

We always meet our patients at eye level. We take them seriously, respect their dignity and rights as well as their individual needs.

“Fortunately, we have employees who think creatively, shape, and strive to prove themselves as best as possible in their respective areas of responsibility.”

Therefore, we continue to look for employees who understand not only their job but also the people they are supposed to help.

“Those who work for UKW do good. We help people who are sick and accompany them on their path to healing. There is hardly a more fulfilling task, but at the same time, hardly a task that demands so much. To be successful and keep the system running well, everyone in the team must work together.”

We Create the Medicine of Tomorrow

Top experts from all over the world work and teach here. Currently, over 1,000 doctors and scientists are conducting research at our university hospital. The topics are diverse, the results groundbreaking and award-winning.

We operate research centers, where we create space and time for new discoveries. We are one of the major training institutions for physicians and dentists in Germany.

At our academic teaching hospitals and in the vocational schools, modern medicine is taught based on the current state of science.

With our Academy, we also offer continuous training and development opportunities.

Working at UKW encompasses even more aspects: “With us, you can develop not only professionally but also personally very well and utilize your opportunities for advancement. The positive feedback from employees confirms this.”

“From my very first interview, I felt: This is where I belong. My job is very attractive because every day you have the chance to treat patients with complex problems and save their lives. Every colleague is needed and perceived as part of a large team. Being able to help and being appreciated for it – what could be better?”

Deputy Head of Internal Intensive and Emergency Medicine

We Stand Together

We are a special employer: We promote your health, care for your children, and enable you to work flexibly. We are there for you.

Because only when our employees are doing well in their private lives can they perform excellently in their professional lives. This is what we understand as a sustainable personnel culture.

We welcome everyone. It’s not important where you come from, but what you can do. People from all over the world work with us in scientific and non-scientific fields, in nursing, administration, supply, and many other areas. 50 nations are gathered here under one roof – we are proud of that.

What’s important to us is a collegial, fair, and trusting cooperation. No matter which position you apply for: You contribute your part to our success.

“Only when everyone has the certainty of being indispensable in the place where they work, and of pursuing a job that is meaningful, can the UKW enterprise function.”

“With my team, I ensure that the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in the hospital are running. Not an easy task, with around 60 buildings with different building structures. I like it when we have to find a quick solution to an unforeseen problem to keep operations running. And that happens quite often, because each day brings new challenges.”

Markus Kobold
SHK Master, Master for the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Department

“Both my grandfather and my mother worked at the hospital, and I wanted that too. In my job, I coordinate appointments, business trips, or conferences for the business division management. Every day offers new challenges, which I like. And I like the advantages that such a large employer offers, such as job security or the many training opportunities.”

Fit sein und bleiben

Patientenversorgung gelingt nur, wenn unsere Mitarbeiter selbst gesund sind. Wir bieten dafür umfangreiche Möglichkeiten innerhalb des Betrieblichen Gesundheitsmanagements und ein umfangreiches Kursprogramm - von „Abnehmen“ bis „Zumba“. Und wir sorgen für gemeinsame Events, etwa beim Firmenlauf, und halten immer zusammen – von der Aufwärmphase bis zum Zieleinlauf.

Favourite Moment

Ausbildung genießen und profitieren

Wir sind ausgezeichneter Partner beim Dualen Studium der Dualen Hochschule Baden-Württemberg. Denn Ausbildung für den eigenen Bedarf ist uns eine Herzensangelegenheit. Nicht nur bei unseren Medizinern. Es ist einfach befriedigend, wenn man die Entwicklung von Mitarbeitern verfolgen kann, wenn Azubis und Studenten später Verantwortung übernehmen, sei es am UKW oder in anderen Unternehmen.

Favourite Moment

Leben schenken und erhalten

Wir schenken und erhalten Leben auch unter schwersten Bedingungen. Wir geben niemals auf. Wir meistern komplexeste Herausforderungen. Wir kennen das erhabene Gefühl, wenn man Patienten in ihr neues Leben entlässt. Wir sorgen für Glücksmomente.
