Team Leader in Internal Logistics at Östra Hospital

In a hospital, many things need to run smoothly for the operations to function.

Within the area of Internal Logistics, we take responsibility for delivering efficient logistics solutions that support the needs of healthcare. We are now looking for a Team Leader for our operations at Östra Hospital. Welcome with your application by February 8.

About the Position

As a Team Leader, you will lead the operational work for approximately 25 employees within the Internal Logistics and Sterile Transport units at Östra Hospital. You will work towards our set goals and prioritize and plan the daily operations in close collaboration with the unit manager. As a Team Leader, you are responsible for ensuring and maintaining good quality and delivery towards the various operations of Västra Götalandsregionen. Continuous improvement work and deviation management are part of everyday life as we constantly work to develop our processes and routines.

As a Team Leader, you will also participate in projects, work to ensure quality and efficiency, and promote participation and a good working environment in the units. The tasks will vary greatly and include both administrative and operational tasks within the operations. Examples of tasks include:

• Ensuring optimal staffing in the unit
• Maintaining high quality and efficiency
• Being responsible for self-checks, delivery checks, and deviations
• Guiding employees in the units regarding tasks, priorities, working methods, and routines.

The working hours for the position are daytime, Monday to Friday. Weekend work every third weekend may become relevant in the near future, which therefore needs to work for you as an applicant.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with a completed high school education or other education or work experience that the employer assesses as equivalent. You have a couple of years of experience working in warehousing and logistics. As a person, you are responsible, communicative, and cooperative. We would like you to have experience leading others, even if it has not necessarily been in a formal leadership role.

Furthermore, you have good knowledge of digital systems and data skills. You communicate fluently in Swedish, both spoken and written, and have the ability to convey information and instructions in a pedagogical manner. Since part of your working time will be spent out in the operations, it is important that you have the physical ability required to be active throughout the workday, lift heavy objects, and perform repetitive tasks. A B driver's license for manual transmission and good driving experience are required for the position. A forklift license and experience with the traceability system Azolver Tracking Solution and/or Heroma are advantageous.

In this recruitment process, we will place great emphasis on personal qualities, motivation, and attitude.

Our Mission

Within the area of Internal Logistics, we are responsible for the internal distribution of textiles, mail, goods, pharmaceuticals, and consumables within the hospital. We are located at the region's largest hospital and have approximately 230 employees. Our employees in Internal Logistics receive and manage all incoming goods at the goods reception and ensure that mail, parcels, and packages reach the correct department. Within Sterile Transport, we ensure that sterile surgical equipment is delivered to the care departments safely. We also transport samples and analysis results between departments and laboratories so that healthcare can receive answers as quickly and efficiently as possible and make decisions about patient treatment. As a Team Leader with us, you will have the opportunity to contribute to a well-functioning healthcare system within Västra Götalandsregionen.
