Temporary Position as Quality Assurance Coordinator in Elderly Care

Now is your chance to support, guide, and educate unit managers and colleagues in elderly care. We are a total of nine Quality Assurance Coordinators (KSS) at the Development Unit for the elderly. Our task is to work for continuous improvements, drive development, and support the operations and employees in elderly care with their challenges. New colleagues describe us as a “friendly, humble, and unpretentious workgroup where you quickly feel welcome.” As a new employee, you are always offered a mentor. We are now looking for a substitute for our colleague who will be on parental leave. The temporary position is from August 2025 to April 2026 with the possibility of extension. Our office is located on Bryggaregatan, which is close to both the train and bus station.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

You are responsible for planning and driving your assignments independently. In your work, you drive change and implement various development initiatives such as:

• reviewing and educating in social documentation.
• conducting observations in operations and developing action plans with proposals for measures.
• guiding and supporting employees and unit managers in areas such as person-centered care and support, communication, and various working methods.
• being a sounding board for the unit manager's work with deviation management.

Through motivation, engagement, and patience, you help individual employees and groups to develop. You adapt your approach to those you meet. Most often, you work independently in assignments, but there are times when you collaborate with a colleague.

QUALIFICATIONS

To succeed in this role, in addition to experience in elderly care and social documentation, you should have a structured working method and be accustomed to driving your work independently. You know that to achieve change, clear communication and a shared vision are needed, combined with attentiveness, support, and motivation. A strength is the ability to find new solutions to achieve results, meaning you dare to try new things. Collaboration and teamwork are key words for this position. We are looking for someone with a degree from a university or college in social work or within the behavioral sciences. You may have another education but in combination with experience in a similar role as KSS.
