Danvikshem currently offers 226 beds for dementia and somatic care. We are approximately 280 colleagues who work together with the goal of providing meaningful living and the best care for those we serve. Our core values are compassion as foundation – professional expertise as means – quality of life as goal. As a mission-driven organization, any surplus is reinvested in our operations. About the Workplace The Technical Department at Danvikshem consists of 7 employees: maintenance staff, electricians, painters, and technicians who, together with the manager, work on operations, administration, and development of Danvikshem. The beautiful main building from 1915 is a well-known landmark with fantastic views over Stockholm. At Danvikshem, all operations are located in the same area, which creates a family-like culture with close collaboration between different functions and strong commitment to our residents.

The role encompasses both strategic and operational responsibility and involves leading, delegating, and following up on work within the technical department. You have personnel responsibility for seven employees and are responsible for creating conditions for engagement, collaboration, and competence development within the team. You are part of the management group and actively contribute to the overall development of operations. Together with other managers, you work long-term to develop operations, strengthen internal processes, and ensure that Danvikshem continues to be a safe and attractive environment for residents, employees, tenants, and visitors. An important part of the assignment is to develop work methods, processes, and procedures within the property and technical areas. We therefore seek a leader with an interest in improvement work, who enjoys developing work methods and can translate ideas into structure, quality, and results. At the same time, the role offers a unique opportunity to work in an environment where historically valuable buildings meet modern property technology. You understand the importance of managing a historic environment while seeing opportunities to develop operations through digitalization, smart technical solutions, and sustainable investments.

We are looking for you – a confident and development-oriented leader who is motivated by building well-functioning teams. You are present in your leadership, create participation, and help people grow through clarity, trust, and follow-up. You are organized and take responsibility, but are curious about how work methods, technology, and organization can be developed over time. You are solution-oriented and have the ability to switch between operational day-to-day issues and strategic decisions with a long-term perspective. Experience working with historically valuable properties is a merit, but equally important is that you understand the special requirements and opportunities these environments present and see the value in combining operations and management with modern technology and sustainable solutions. As a member of the management group, you are expected to have a holistic and strategic perspective on the organization's development. You are an important sounding board for the CEO and other managers and work closely with operations to ensure that properties and technical systems meet both today's and tomorrow's needs.
