Development Manager for the Social Services Administration in Helsingborg City
Popis:
Do you want to lead development and innovation work that makes a real difference for residents? We are seeking a development manager with strategic and operational overall responsibility for the social services administration's development unit and joint PART preventive work. About the workplace In the city, the social services administration is responsible for individual and family care. Our mission is to enable residents to become self-sufficient in life so they can take an active part in society. We are in the process of reshaping ourselves according to the new social services with a focus on creating a more accessible social service based on three operational areas: authority, services and support, and housing. We are seeking an experienced and confident change leader who wants to take strategic overall responsibility for development and innovation in a politically governed organization. Responsibilities You lead and develop two units with a shared mission – to create sustainable development that makes a real difference for residents. One part of your assignment is to lead the administration's Development Unit, which provides development and innovation support to the social services administration's core operations. Together with your colleagues, you create the conditions for systematic development work where service design, residents' needs, and data-driven learning are translated into improved working methods, services, and social interventions. You strengthen the administration's structure, development capacity, and innovation culture so that change becomes a natural part of operations. The second part of the assignment is to lead staff and work within PART – Preventive Work Together. PART is a joint innovation and collaboration platform between Helsingborg City, Landskrona City, and Region Skåne. Here you lead the work of developing and testing new solutions to complex societal challenges together with residents, civil society, academia, and other societal actors. The focus is on creating equal conditions for children and young people to succeed in school and achieve the best possible health. As development manager, you move naturally between strategy and implementation. You translate research, environmental monitoring, and new perspectives into practical operational development and create conditions for ideas to lead to real change. You lead both long-term development processes and concrete innovation initiatives and ensure they create value for residents, operations, and the organization. The assignment involves close collaboration with administration management, operations managers, other administrations, political leadership, academia, civil society, and external collaboration partners. You build trusting relationships and create engagement around shared goals. As a manager, you are responsible for operations, staff, work environment, and budget, while developing a culture where learning, innovation, and collaboration are a natural part of daily work. We are seeking someone who wants to help shape the future social services – where development is not a project alongside operations, but a working method that permeates the entire organization and is based on residents' needs. What we offer We offer you a varied, responsible, and stimulating job with opportunities for personal development. The workplace is smoke-free and health-conscious, and as an employee you receive a wellness allowance of 3000 kronor per year and other wellness benefits through the benefits portal epassi. Qualifications We are seeking someone who Has an academic university degree. Preferably a master's degree or doctoral education Has several years of experience leading change and development work in a complex organization Has experience with needs-driven and user-driven development as well as resident involvement Has been a manager with responsibility for personnel, work environment, and budget Has experience working in the municipal or public sector and is familiar with politically driven processes Has experience managing both permanent employees and project resources Has worked cross-sectorially and built sustainable collaborations Is curious and has the ability to absorb research and theory to translate it into practical operational work Has very good ability to express yourself in Swedish in speech and writing and can access and use research literature in English PERSONAL QUALITIES You are a professional, clear, and trustworthy team player with a strong drive to develop organizations and create value for residents. You are structured and systemically savvy, with strong anchoring ability and the ability to create movement in complex contexts. You are a person with ambitious goals, visions, and who is passionate about development based on residents' needs. You need to be communicative and confident in dialogue with both management and operations as well as external parties. You thrive in an outward-facing role where you share learning, give lectures, and drive opinion on issues concerning children, young people, and adults. Environmental monitoring is a natural part of your working method and you translate new perspectives into practical action.
