About the job The Elderly Care and Health Services Administration is seeking someone with courage, commitment, and innovative thinking to help develop our organization and HR work. We are characterized by a good collaborative climate, high professionalism, and strong dedication to our important societal mission. As Unit Manager for Competence and HR Hisingen, you will have a broad and varied role that combines close operational leadership with strategic development work. You will lead a unit of approximately 13 employees who work extensively and in depth across several HR processes, where you as manager contribute support in employment law matters and systematic workplace environment work. Together, you will create conditions for managers to be competent and present leaders and for our employees to thrive, develop, and contribute to high-quality services for Gothenburg residents. An important part of your role is to further develop the strategic competence planning work and the administration's workplace environment efforts at an overall level. Together with operations, you will identify what competencies are needed today and in the future and translate this into concrete strategies and initiatives.

We are now seeking someone who wants to help continue developing an HR department with both broad and specialized expertise – a proactive, competent, and engaged support organization that makes a difference in some of society's most important matters.
