Adult Psychiatry in Region Gävleborg offers specialized psychiatric care to adults throughout the region and comprises approximately 500 employees. The operations conduct both outpatient care, inpatient care, and addiction treatment services, with a broad mandate spanning acute interventions, treatment services, and complex care needs.
We are in a development phase where national reforms, the comorbidity investigation, and the transition to good and accessible care entail new working methods, strengthened collaboration, and increased focus on evidence-based care and accessibility. Adult Psychiatry has worked for several years to strengthen leadership, develop structures, and create favorable conditions for managers and employees.
We are now seeking two Assistant Operations Managers who want to lead this continued development together with the Operations Manager and management team.

DUTIES
As an Assistant Operations Manager, you will be part of the operations management team and work committee, where you will drive strategic issues, priorities, and development work together with the Operations Manager. The role combines strategic leadership with operational impact and involves broad responsibility for operations, patient safety, and development.
Adult Psychiatry is organized into three areas with different mandates and development needs:
• Outpatient Care – clinics throughout the region with a broad diagnostic and treatment mandate
• Inpatient Care – care units, acute clinics, specialist mobile teams (SPOT) in three locations, and a mobile team in Gästrikland
• Addiction Treatment – addiction clinics, LARO services and needle exchange, an area undergoing major change where the comorbidity reform entails new working methods and increased collaboration with municipalities and primary care.
As an Assistant Operations Manager, you will have overall responsibility for one of these three areas, in close collaboration with the care unit managers who lead the daily work.
Your duties include:
• lead and develop operations and managers within your area of responsibility
• ensure quality, patient safety, and evidence-based working methods
• manage budget, follow-up, and operations planning
• drive change and improvement work, including initiatives related to the comorbidity reform, production and capacity management, development of meaningful inpatient care, and wise clinical choices
• collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, including municipalities, primary care, research, and development
• contribute to trust-based leadership and a culture that promotes dialogue, accountability, and development.
With us you will get:
• a leadership role in an operation facing important and exciting changes
• the opportunity to influence and shape the future of psychiatric care
• close collaboration with engaged managers and employees
• good conditions for leadership development through the region's investments in change management and executive assistants.

QUALIFICATIONS
We are looking for an experienced and confident leader with the ability to create stability, direction, and engagement in an operation characterized by both complexity and change. You have an analytical approach and can translate strategic goals into clear priorities and structures in daily work. The role requires you to be comfortable making decisions, managing multiple perspectives simultaneously, and building trusting relationships both internally and externally.
You need to thrive in an environment where development, collaboration, and long-term thinking are central to the mission. As a leader, you are present, communicative, and clear, and you have the ability to create conditions for managers and employees to succeed in their roles. You also have a good understanding of how governance, finances, quality, and work environment interact in a larger organization.
To succeed in the role, you must have:
• academic education in healthcare or other higher education combined with work experience that the employer considers equivalent
• documented leadership experience, preferably with responsibility for operations in the public sector, finances, and employees.
It is meritorious if you have experience leading through other managers, experience from healthcare, and experience with change management or major development projects.
