Vacant job

Every year, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency makes 24 million decisions that affect people's lives and society as a whole. We disburse approximately 250 billion kronor each year. These are everyone's tax funds that we manage. It is a great responsibility. Therefore, we delve into every case, follow laws and regulations, inform and guide, care, and show compassion. This is a job for you who want to take responsibility. Welcome to the Swedish Social Insurance Agency.

Close leadership, change, sustainable workplace
As a unit manager, you are the manager who is closest to the employees and the operations. You are responsible for leading and driving the daily work based on the department's mission and goals, where the state value base permeates your work. Through your leadership, you convey clear expectations, follow up on goals, and provide your employees with the right conditions to take their responsibility. You have personnel responsibility as well as result and follow-up responsibility for the teams in your unit.

Your unit consists of about 25 employees who all work with income investigations and are based in Karlshamn and Karlskrona. In Karlshamn, the team also works with employer benefits in the form of, among other things, workplace-oriented rehabilitation support. Since the employees are located in two places, it will be relevant for you as a manager to be present in both locations and to be comfortable leading remotely. Through close leadership, you create the predictability, security, and sustainability necessary for employees to take their responsibility and meet the need for change. You create understanding of the context, direction, and the goals set by the department and develop the plans your operations need. As a unit manager, you are a support for the area manager and you are part of the area's management group, which consists of 8 people where you contribute with your competence and commitment. You adapt and exercise your leadership in a way that creates conditions for employees to use their judgment and competence. You will also assist in development work since workplace-oriented rehabilitation support is only handled in this unit.

The position involves handling confidential information, which places high demands on proper management. Therefore, it is important that you, who will work with us, have a high security awareness.

This is a job for you who want to take responsibility.

We are looking for you who:

• have a university degree or experiences and qualifications that can be deemed equivalent
• have good leadership skills
• promote others' professional and personal development
• work to achieve goals and results, follow up on the effects of your own and others' activities
• have a systematic working method
• have good self-awareness and are stable as a person, promoting a trust-building work climate
• promote mutual dialogue, are attentive, and adapt your communication according to needs and situations.

It is meritorious if you:

• have experience of operational leadership in production-intensive public sector operations
• have a good understanding of the Swedish Social Insurance Agency's mission and the role of civil servants
• have experience of coaching leadership and leading in change
• have experience of leading and developing teams
• have experience of leading remotely
• have experience of planning your operations in collaboration with managerial colleagues remotely
• have experience of competency-based recruitment within the public sector
• have knowledge of compensation regarding workplace-oriented rehabilitation support.

We place great importance on your personal qualities.
