Vacant job

Active Care operates HVB facilities with individualized treatment for youth. Our concept differs from traditional HVB homes as our youth live in their own fully equipped apartment with staff available around the clock.

As an employee, you will experience a workplace characterized by commitment, competence, and the desire to be part of a young person's next positive step in life.

We are part of Viljan, the broadest range of specialized care, with the best impact on individuals and society. We are looking for someone who wants to take on an exciting role as assistant operations manager for a parental substitute position. With us, you will have the opportunity to make a difference every day in an organization that works with commitment, structure, and heart.

Active Care's facilities on Rundelsgatan are both HVB located in Linköping. We accept children and youth aged 14-21 in need of individualized treatment in our apartment concept. We actively and purposefully work to create a safe, trusting, and meaningful environment.

As an assistant operations manager, you are a key person in the organization and work closely with the operations manager as well as independently in the daily operations. On behalf of the operations manager, you are responsible for leading and driving the operational work at the residence. You have independent responsibility for daily operations, planning of the organization, and creating good conditions for employees to deliver safe and qualitative care.

You have delegated responsibility for personnel, finances, and quality. You follow up on the organization's goals and contribute to the systematic quality work.

You report directly to the operations manager.

• Responsible for admission decisions for clients and maintain good cooperation with customers, commissioners, and relatives

• Finance and budget related to the organization

• Ensure occupancy according to budget and set goals

You have a strong drive and experience working with HVB for youth. Now you see the opportunity to take the next step in your development through a leadership role. Perhaps this is your path to eventually assume the role of operations manager and be responsible for an HVB operation.

Active Care is in a development phase, and we see that you are a quick learner, communicative, and willing to take on significant responsibility. Furthermore, you have a solution-focused approach, with the ability to work proactively and towards set goals. In your daily work, you create good collaboration with employees, relatives, and external contacts.
