We warmly welcome your application!
Job Responsibilities
As assistant unit manager, you will work closely with the unit manager and another assistant unit manager. Together, you will lead daily operations and plan activities and future development. In addition, you will collaborate with the operations manager and other managers at the Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic. The majority of the position consists of management duties, but also includes some clinical work.
Your role involves developing the operations, working toward established goals through systematic improvement efforts, conducting quality and patient safety work, and contributing to a good work environment. You will be the immediate supervisor for approximately 10-15 employees within hearing rehabilitation. You are responsible for employee, salary, and rehabilitation meetings as well as recruitment within your work group. You will be involved in developing the team and their mission.
As a manager, you represent Region Västmanland and your operations both internally and externally. This means you work in accordance with and convey the perspectives and positions held by the employer. Within Region Västmanland, we value leadership that is developmental, present, and coaching—supporting and utilizing employees' knowledge and competence, enabling employees' responsibility-taking, learning, and participation.
