Most companies search for a manager. We're searching for a leader. There are people who lead through their title. Then there are people who lead through who they are. We're looking for the latter. We seek a leader who builds culture before control, who develops people before processes, and who understands that real quality is created in people's daily work, not in policy documents. If you're looking for a job where your main task is to maintain an operation, this is probably not the right position. But if you want to lead an organization that makes a difference every day for people in some of life's most vulnerable situations, then we hope you'll read on. About Sapling AB Sapling AB is a national player in social care with a special focus on sheltered housing under the Social Services Act. We work together with municipalities across Sweden and have, in recent years, grown into an established operation with high ambitions for quality, leadership, and organizational development. We are certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and operate based on a comprehensive quality management system where continuous improvement, regulatory compliance, and professional leadership are an integral part of our daily work. We don't believe that quality is something you achieve. We believe that quality is something you choose—every day.

Sapling currently operates a stable and growing business where sheltered housing accounts for approximately 90 percent of the company's operations. At the same time, a legal process is underway regarding an authority decision related to a licensing matter. An initial decision has gone against us, but we have chosen to pursue legal review because we believe the matter deserves full legal examination. The matter is therefore not yet finally decided. Regardless of the outcome, this is a key role that is needed in the organization. We see transparency as a natural part of good leadership.
