Description

The municipality's health and care services include elderly care, home care, home healthcare–rehabilitation, and support for people with disabilities (LSS).

The operations are led by four unit managers who report directly to the head of health and care, which provides short decision-making paths and close cooperation between management and operations.

We are now looking for a manager support with overall responsibility for scheduling and staffing within health and care. The role involves qualified support to two unit managers in special housing and home care. The assignment is both operational and strategic and has great significance for the quality of operations, work environment, and economic sustainability.

In a smaller municipality like Ljusnarsberg, collaboration, a holistic perspective, and accountability are crucial. Here you will have the opportunity to work closely with the operations and contribute to creating structure, stability, and long-term planning in staffing.

• Ensuring staffing during short- and long-term absences through active recruitment of substitutes
• Monitoring and analyzing staffing outcomes in relation to budget and operational goals
• Being a support to managers in matters concerning work time models, resource allocation, and sustainable staffing
• Contacting users and relatives regarding services
• Working in the systems Visma and TimeCare and contributing to the development of routines related to the scheduling process

Personal Qualities

We are looking for someone who is structured, analytical, and has a good ability to see the whole in complex staffing issues.

You:

• Have a clear economic awareness and understand how staffing decisions affect the budget and long-term sustainability of the operations
• Can weigh the need for quality and work environment against cost-effectiveness within given frameworks
• Are solution-oriented and thrive in a role where the pace can vary
• Work independently with integrity but also have good collaborative skills
• Have a professional and service-oriented approach in contact with users, relatives, and colleagues

We will place great emphasis on personal suitability.
