We are now looking for a Unit Manager for the Development Unit within the Quality and Development Function.

The Development Unit coordinates the administration's systematic quality work and supports managers in follow-up, analysis, and development assignments. The unit also provides support in various development assignments related to the administration's four strategic development areas.

You will report to the Quality and Development Manager.

As a unit manager, you will lead and develop the work of the unit. You will have personnel responsibility for a team of eleven employees consisting of business developers, project managers, administrative controllers, and dementia coordinators. The management is based on a coaching approach towards employees who are independent and experienced in their profession.

You will be part of a management group with three unit managers. In several of the unit's assignments, collaboration and coordination with other units within the quality and development unit are crucial for a good and cohesive delivery to the administration's operations.

In addition to meaningful tasks, good working conditions, and professional colleagues, as an employee within Borås city, you are offered employee benefits in the form of wellness grants, free access to municipal swimming pools, benefit bicycles, and a variety of activities organized by the employee association MerKraft.

The following are meritorious:

• previous documented management experience, preferably within quality and development
• experience from public operations within the welfare sector
• several years of experience in change management, process development, or project management

You are strategic, analytical, and clear in your communication. You build trust, create collaboration, and drive development forward.

The role involves both strategic and operational work.
