JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a Socially Responsible Coordinator (SAS), you will play a crucial role in the overall and strategic work for quality management within the areas of social services based on applicable laws and regulations. You will work to ensure that the operations comply with regulations and general advice on quality management systems. The work includes monitoring the external environment regarding legislation, and you will be part of networks and working groups both within and outside the administration. As SAS, you will collaborate closely with the operations, providing advice and support based on their needs and conducting training initiatives.

You will lead the administration's quality group, consisting of business developers and operational controllers. Together, you will work to develop effective working methods to ensure that the administration meets laws, regulations, and decisions with a focus on the services provided. Furthermore, you will support the operations in ensuring good documentation, including through introduction, training, self-assessments, and other operational support.

Part of your work will involve investigating and assessing Lex Sarah reports and any notifications to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO). You will also guide other functions designated to investigate according to Lex Sarah and inform the board about any notifications to IVO.

You will have the opportunity to plan your workday based on the tasks you have for the day. This gives you the freedom to occasionally work from home or other locations when appropriate and based on the needs of the operations. Initially, you will be alone in the role of SAS as the current SAS will be on parental leave, but the administration plans to eventually establish two positions, which may affect the content of the role.
