Economic assistance is an operation where day-to-day leadership and the development of the future social services are interconnected. We are seeking a unit manager who wants to create clarity and scope for action for employees, ensure quality and legal certainty - and at the same time be curious about how we can develop our working methods further. You need to thrive with both making everyday operations work and exploring together with others what we can do even better. About the Operation Economic assistance is an important part of the social services mission. Here we meet people who need support on their path toward self-sufficiency and a more independent life. Our employees work to lead change toward self-sufficiency, build relationships, strengthen individuals' resources, and collaborate with others. We share knowledge, learn from each other, and capitalize on ideas and develop our working methods. We believe in trust, clarity, and professional scope for action - and that follow-up should contribute to learning and development rather than unnecessary control. We want to create more room for social work and reduce administration that doesn't add value for residents or the organization. That's why we work with digitalization, automation, and simplified processes, among other things. The goal isn't technology for its own sake, but to free up time for relationships, collaboration, and change work. We also see great opportunities in developing collaboration within the municipality and with, for example, the labor market, health and medical services, authorities, and civil society. We're not waiting for the future of social services. We're building it now.

You'll also receive support in your own leadership and the opportunity to grow with the role. Duties As a unit manager, you share responsibility with two colleagues for personnel, work environment, finances, quality, and results. You lead close to the operation and create the conditions for your employees to succeed with their mission. Your task is to create the conditions for professional, legally secure, and developmental social work. This means, among other things, that you: establish clear frameworks and professional scope for action create conditions for legally secure assessments and good quality enable relational social work and close support to individuals follow up on the operation and use results as a basis for learning and development strengthen collaboration and shared responsibility build a culture characterized by learning, development, and participation together with employees and colleagues develop working methods and operations. You need to be able to create direction without micromanaging, delegate authority without losing oversight, and be present when things are difficult. For us, development is not a side project alongside the job. It's part of the management role. You therefore need to be curious about what can be improved, dare to try new working methods, and be able to translate ideas into change in daily operations. Qualifications You have relevant higher education, for example a degree in social work, or other higher education that the employer considers relevant. You have experience in social work and authority operations, as well as experience in leadership. Experience in economic assistance or a related area is a merit, as is knowledge and experience in motivational interviewing (MI). You don't need to have been a formal manager - we're more interested in what you've done and accomplished than in the title you've held. We'd like to see that you have experience developing operations and employees, driving change and development work, and working with goals, results, and follow-up. You have an understanding of finances and resource management and experience with collaboration. Since digitalization is an important part of social services development, we'd also like to see that you have experience using digital tools and working methods within social services. As a person, you are present and attentive in your leadership. You create clarity and direction, engage your employees, and make things happen. You build trustful relationships and find it easy to collaborate with different parts of the organization and other actors. You are curious, courageous, and see opportunities for development, while at the same time making the most of what already works. You can listen to different perspectives, make decisions when needed, and adapt your communication to the situation and recipient. You don't need to know everything. But you need to be willing to understand, dare to try, and learn along the way. Do you recognize yourself?
