Ref: 20261664 Job Responsibilities We are now seeking a section chief for the Support and Treatment Unit for Adults, Rebo and Rebo-bo section. The City of Malmö is one of few municipalities that operates residential treatment homes (HVB) for adults with harmful substance use/addiction in-house. We have done this for many years and Avenbok's Rebo is an organization with a long history and high quality. The current manager has been with the organization for a long time but has now decided to take well-deserved retirement. We are seeking a successor who can continue to operate the organization with the same strong social commitment while together navigating and meeting the changes ahead of us based on the comorbidity reform. The organization has 22 beds for somewhat older individuals who have often lived long-term with harmful substance use/addiction. Treatment work is based on CRA and ÅP and is designed individually according to each person's needs. As a complement to the HVB operation, there is also Rebo-bo, a residence for those who have remaining support needs after completed treatment services. That operation has 11 apartments in one building and offers longer-term support and social community with the aim of strengthening sustained sobriety. As section chief, you lead both operations and therefore have a significant responsibility. The role includes leading and distributing work as well as developing the operations together with three coordinators. The section chief role also includes responsibility for work environment, budget, and personnel. Systematic work environment efforts are an important part of the section chief's responsibility and aim to create the best possible conditions for the organization's employees. In the same building as Rebo is Avenbok's treatment home; you work closely with your colleague manager and drive processes together with her. You are also part of the unit's management group and participate in and contribute to development work within the unit, department, and administration as a whole. Qualifications We are seeking someone with a degree in social work (socionom), or a social pedagogue with a university degree or another university degree appropriate for the role that the employer deems equivalent. You have several years of experience in social work and social change work. We also see that you need to have leadership experience or have been in a personnel coordinating or team leading role. Merits for the role include: Management or leadership training or a leadership development program. Experience with personnel, budget, and work environment responsibility. Experience with treatment work within the framework of residential treatment homes. Knowledge of relevant methods such as CRA, ÅP, MI. Knowledge of legislation, current regulations, and guidelines. You have strong ability to express yourself both verbally and in writing in the Swedish language. As a person, you are a natural relationship builder who creates trust, engagement, and participation through dialogue, accessibility, and giving employees room for action and encouraging responsibility. You lead with a holistic perspective and have a strong focus on quality and follow-up and ensure through analysis and continuous feedback that the organization develops and achieves set goals. You care about your employees, are present, and create a work environment where people feel seen, safe, and motivated. With a solution-oriented and stable approach, you create the conditions for good cooperation and an organization characterized by trust, development, and shared responsibility.
