Description:

Do you want to be part of refining and enhancing the future of home care in Lund? Are you ready for new managerial challenges and take a step into the innovative future of home care in Lund? We're looking for a confident, curious, and development-driven unit manager who wants to take responsibility for a unit area that stretches from the pulse of the city to the close-knit communities of surrounding villages. With us, you'll have the opportunity to listen, learn, and lead with trust, and together with engaged union partners, managers, employees, and support functions, further develop tomorrow's municipal home care. Duties As a unit manager, you're responsible for a unit area within home care with operations in Lund city center or in surrounding villages. The assignment involves a varied daily routine where you combine core operational tasks with trust-based and present leadership in the organization. In home care in Lund, we offer support, services, and care with a focus on quality and individual needs, and you lead an engaged team with different professional roles that together create a complete picture around the service user. Nursing assistants, care workers, coordinators, planners, and a unit administrator work here—under your leadership as unit manager. In this role, you have overall responsibility for personnel, work environment, finances, and business development, and you promote collaboration with your union colleagues. As part of home care, you're part of the management team for home care and health. You report to the deputy operations manager and contribute together with your managerial colleagues and other support functions to ensuring that Lund Municipality continues to be an attractive employer and an innovative leader in home care. You focus on quality and results and create conditions for participation and dialogue with employees, service users, and relatives. You work goal-oriented, follow up and analyze results, and drive development forward, not least by taking advantage of digitalization opportunities. You're a present leader who inspires and builds engagement. Through clear communication and attentiveness, you create consensus and direction in the organization. Our guiding principles—listen, learn, lead—run through your work and how you together with others develop the organization. We're looking for someone with a relevant academic university or college degree of at least 180 ECTS credits (social sector, care and welfare, or health and medical care). It's an advantage if you also have training in leadership. We assume you have several years of managerial experience from a similar managerial role, preferably from home care within care and welfare. It's an advantage if you have managerial experience working in municipal home care and also experience working within the social sector. We especially value our cooperation with the union federations, and it's a major advantage to have experience of union cooperation and close collaboration from your previous workplace(s). With us, you'll have room to make well-considered decisions while also having the courage to test new paths. You thrive in an environment where change is a natural part of everyday life and see development as an opportunity, not an obstacle. Flexibility and resilience are your strengths—you stay on course even when the wind blows and are inspired by seeing both the organization and your employees grow. In your role as a manager, you'll have a dynamic daily routine where no two days are the same. You'll have the opportunity to influence and shape your work based on the organization's needs and your own experience. It's a role for someone who thrives with the important core assignment of being present in the daily work. You're a communicative leader who creates consensus and engagement. You have an easy time collaborating and conveying messages in a clear and pedagogical way. Most importantly, you lead with trust—the foundation for sustainable and inspiring leadership.
