As a group manager, you play a key role in supporting case officers, ensuring lawful authority exercise, and driving development in a changing environment. You will work closely with the unit manager and colleagues, have significant authority in your daily work, and the opportunity to influence both working methods and culture. Here, clarity, calmness, and the courage to make decisions are valued – as well as humor, humility, and the desire to build a strong team together.

Do you want to take the next step and help create stability, structure, and job satisfaction in an organization that truly makes a difference?

In close collaboration with the unit manager, you participate in planning, following up, and developing the operations. The role also includes some personnel responsibility, such as recruitment, onboarding, and employee and salary discussions. If necessary, you step in and support your group manager colleague within the elderly group.

About the Workplace

The main mission of the Social Administration is to offer individualized support and services within elderly care, disabilities, children and families, adults, and financial assistance. We are present for the residents of the municipality through all stages of life. In 2025, an organizational change was implemented to better meet the new social services law, where all authority exercise was gathered within clear areas of responsibility.

The unit for the elderly and disabilities is responsible for processing applications according to SoL and LSS for both older and younger people with physical or mental disabilities. The unit consists of case officers, housing coordinators, and method supporters. In total, we are about 27 employees led by a unit manager along with two group managers.
