Would you like to make a difference for people on their path toward self-sufficiency, education, and integration? Do you have engaging leadership skills and experience in social work? Then you could be the group manager we're looking for.
To create a more cohesive and efficient operation, Support Services and Labor Market & Integration are now being brought together under unified leadership. The new organization is led by a department manager with overall responsibility for all operations. As part of this change, we are now seeking group managers for each operational area to contribute to a coordinated and effective support system for our residents.
Your Responsibilities
The operations at the Hub strengthen individuals' opportunities for work, studies, and self-sufficiency, as well as the integration prospects of newly arrived residents.
As group manager, you are responsible for leading, developing, and monitoring operations based on established goals and activity plans. You have overall responsibility for operations, personnel, finances, and work environment.
In this role, you work closely with your team members and together create conditions for professional, legally secure, and high-quality work with a clear participant focus. Through clear and present leadership, you contribute to developing operations, strengthening collaboration, and creating a workplace where employees thrive, develop, and achieve good results.
You report directly to the department manager and participate in the unit's management team alongside other group managers. The role involves close cooperation both internally and with external collaboration partners. As a group manager, you have the opportunity to help develop operations and contribute to shaping and strengthening our management team.
Your Qualifications
We are looking for someone who is educated as a social worker or social pedagogue (180 credits), or alternatively has other education that the employer considers equivalent. You have documented experience in labor market interventions, integration, or support services.
It is an advantage if you have experience in management or supervisory positions as well as several years of experience in one or more of the operation's areas.
To succeed in this role, we see that you are a confident, stable, and present leader who builds trust and engagement. You work in a structured and goal-oriented manner and have strong abilities to plan, prioritize, and monitor operational results.
You have high personal maturity and strong collaboration skills. Through your leadership, you create participation, motivation, and understanding for the operation's mission. You communicate clearly and ensure that information is conveyed in ways that create conditions for well-functioning cooperation and a good work environment.
