Operations Manager for Elderly Care, Ale Municipality

We are looking for you who wants to be part of shaping tomorrow's Ale. With us, you deliver service and quality services of the highest standard to Ale residents. Together, 2,500 employees create an Ale—a municipality focused on residents and their needs. Become one of us! About the Workplace Social Services in Ale is organized into four operational areas, with elderly care being by far the largest. Within elderly care, there is home care, specialized housing, and preventive services. Elderly care is growing as the number of residents in the target group increases. The operational area will therefore be expanded with an additional operations manager, in part to ensure a good work environment and the opportunity for present-minded leadership for unit managers. In your role as operations manager, you will be the direct supervisor of eight unit managers, and the operational area will be divided geographically—that is, both home care and specialized housing in either the southern or northern parts of the municipality. The intention is that work to consolidate the operational area continues and that focus is on the resident and making the transition between home care and specialized housing seamless for those affected. This means that elderly care's two operations managers will jointly lead the operational area. Do you, in close collaboration with a colleague, want to continue the work of increasing quality for our residents and are you an experienced leader? Then you should apply for this position! Responsibilities As operations manager, you will be responsible for all elderly care in a geographical part of the municipality. You have responsibility for traditional areas such as operational development, work environment, personnel, and finances. The most important task is to ensure that residents in the target group are offered elderly care services of good quality. Likewise, in your role as manager, you lead, develop, and strengthen unit managers. You have confidence in their abilities, integrity, and willingness to contribute based on the organization's best interests and Ale Municipality's values: "Together we take responsibility and build trust." Beyond this, you are expected to have a holistic perspective and take an active role in management leadership, as well as clearly contribute to creating added value through cooperation and strategic vision. Qualifications For this role, an academic degree is required, at least a bachelor's degree, with a focus on the operational area that the employer considers relevant. You must have at least five years of professional experience as a manager and experience working in a politically governed organization. You need to be able to express yourself very well in Swedish both verbally and in writing, and have good digital literacy. We would like to see that you have further education in subjects relevant to elderly care and/or leadership, and that you have completed a leadership development program. Furthermore, demonstrable experience in leading managers, leading collaboration work, and change management is meritorious. You need to have a holistic perspective, great personal maturity, and a well-developed sense of judgment. Additionally, you need a good ability to collaborate and build relationships. You are strategic in your thinking but also innovative in how you approach new challenges. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
