Vacant job

At the Knowledge Office, about thirty employees with expertise in student health, finance, HR, administration, and IT work together. Here, engagement and knowledge come together to provide the support that the operations need to succeed. We are currently undergoing a reorganization that strengthens our ability to provide coordinated, legally secure, and operationally close support. The change involves clearer governance, a more transparent structure, and consolidated expertise in areas including IT. The goal is to create better collaboration, more efficient processes, and an organization that develops together.

The new operational area, Preschool and Administrative Support, includes Sandviken municipality's preschool operations, led by two principals, as well as the newly established IT unit and the administrative unit with ten employees.

With us, we make each other better. We share knowledge, highlight each other's strengths, and are open to new ideas. There is support when needed and a climate where collaboration and solutions are at the center. Warm welcome to us.

As the operational manager for preschool and administrative support, you will:

• Be responsible for strategic and operational leadership as well as development within the operational area
• Support principals in systematic quality work, follow-up, and analysis
• Ensure that the operations comply with the Education Act, curriculum, and municipal goals
• Lead and develop administrative processes for the administrative office
• Develop, implement, and lead the safety organization for the administration
• Lead and develop the school transport work

In the role, you are expected to:

• Contribute to a cohesive and development-oriented administration
• Ensure that decisions and actions are based on a holistic perspective and common goals
• Create structures that promote collaboration, dialogue, and learning between school forms and support functions

To succeed in the role, we believe that you are an experienced, development-oriented, and structured leader who has experience working with change processes in complex contexts. You have good collaboration skills and a flexible approach based on trust in your employees. Furthermore, you have a good ability to see the whole picture and drive strategic development issues.

You have:

• Relevant academic education
• Experience in strategic leadership within a politically governed organization
• Managerial experience

• Experience leading in a matrix organization or with shared responsibility
• Experience being a manager of managers
• Experience in administrative development
• Knowledge of education legislation and the responsibilities of the principal
• Academic leadership training

We are looking for someone who is relationship-building, communicative, and enjoys a varied role with many points of contact and areas of collaboration.

We are recruiting in parallel for a corresponding position for high school. We see no downside to applying for both positions. In Sandviken municipality, a fixed-term managerial appointment is applied with a permanent employment as the basis.

Warm welcome with your application!
