We strive to work without boundaries within the administration and to be an obvious part of Uppsala Municipality.

Your Mission

Uppsala Fire Department's ambition is to have a deputy team leader on each shift. As a deputy team leader, you form a leadership team together with the regular team leader. You substitute for the team leader during their absence and relieve the team leader of the ongoing work in the group.

In the role of deputy team leader, you are an employer representative, similar to the team leader, and you understand the importance of being a role model by having a constructive, solution-focused, and collaborative approach.

In this position, you will constantly face new, exciting challenges, make a significant difference for many people, and contribute to society.

Your Background

We are looking for someone who has:

• completed SMO training or equivalent full-time firefighter training, or Rescue Operations, or Grib with 56 hours of smoke diving
• good experience as a full-time firefighter
• B and C driving licenses

It is advantageous if you have:

• Rescue A training
• leadership experience

As a leader, you take responsibility for your mission and provide yourself and your colleagues with good conditions to achieve results. You coordinate groups and become a reference point for others, and you create engagement and participation. It is important that you have an approach that means you see the whole and can place things in a larger context. You find it easy to make and implement decisions based on available and analyzed information, and you have the ability to see opportunities in changes. Furthermore, you are clear in your communication and ensure that your messages reach the right audience and that expectations are clear for all parties. We also expect you to be good at collaborating in a responsive and flexible manner and that you can structure, plan, and prioritize your work effectively.
