The unit is responsible for financial management and monitoring, accounting, billing, and rate-setting. You will initially lead six employees, several of whom will be newly hired.

Qualifications We are looking for someone with an academic degree in finance or equivalent education combined with relevant work experience. You have several years of experience in qualified financial work and broad competence in budgeting, forecasting, financial statements, and financial monitoring. You have strong analytical abilities and can translate financial information into clear decision documents for both management and operations. You express yourself very well in Swedish, both orally and in writing, and thrive in a role that combines operational work with strategic and long-term development perspective. If you have experience with water and wastewater finance and a good understanding of the specific economic conditions that apply to water and wastewater operations, where the business is governed by the Water Services Act and its principles, we consider that a strong advantage. It is meriting if you have: experience from water and wastewater operations, other rate-financed operations, municipality, or municipal company experience with development and change work within the finance field Personal Qualities We place great importance on your personal qualities. You are analytical, structured, and solution-oriented, and you naturally build trust and good relationships.

Your Workplace The Children's Clinic is sometimes called the "Little Hospital" within the large hospital, which can be explained by the fact that our operations encounter most of the different specialties in healthcare, including medicine, surgery, orthopedics, oncology, acute care, and ICU care—some examples.

We have a long orientation program in different stages, including training days, personal guidance, and mentorship. We offer work where you have great opportunities for personal development. The position involves mixed shift work according to agreement, day, evening, and night shifts. Your Knowledge and Competencies We are looking for you who are a licensed nurse.
