At Arvika Municipality, we are on an exciting journey of change, and we are looking for a driven, courageous, and proactive unit manager for our daily operations for the external part.

The external part refers to users who have their employment in a group or have the service independently with an external employer.

We are looking for someone with a genuine interest in making a difference in their work. The job is challenging, varied, and meaningful, and you will contribute in a real way. As we have an expanded/changed target group within co-occurring disorders in daily operations, we want you to contribute your thoughts and ideas while also utilizing the experience that exists in the organization. You are interested in working with development and finding new paths and solutions.

Within Arvika Municipality, we work to create good conditions for our managers to conduct close leadership.

To assist you in your role as unit manager, you have administrative support that helps with short-term recruitment. As an employer, we invest in training in leadership and employee engagement and have good support from functions such as HR, finance, and other operational support.

We offer wellness grants, wellness hours, and the possibility to work remotely to some extent.

• A bachelor's degree in social work.

• Good computer skills.

It is an advantage if you also have:

• Several years of leadership experience and knowledge in the area of disabilities.
• Previous experience in labor market issues and co-occurring disorders.

To succeed in the role of unit manager, we see that you are communicative, solution-focused, and goal-oriented. You have the ability to motivate and develop others and inspire good work efforts, creating joy and pride in the workgroup.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability and your ability to contribute to the team.
