Job Description

SiS is currently undergoing extensive transformation, developing its operations on multiple levels simultaneously. We adapt our work based on new and changing needs in both society and our own organization. We know that developing and engaged managers are a decisive prerequisite for fulfilling today's and tomorrow's missions.

As the Night Unit Manager, you will lead, plan, and monitor work related to your staff and operational content. Your team consists of treatment pedagogues, treatment assistants, and operational managers. Your night-shift staff have an important mission to ensure the safety and security of our clients' care and treatment needs. The Operational Manager is a newly established function working around the clock to ensure the safety and security of staff and clients, as well as representing the employer outside of office hours. As the manager of the night staff, the role includes some duty hours in the evening/night to meet your staff during their working hours, which you consider an important and natural part of your work. The position includes responsibility for the work environment, personnel, and budget.

You are part of the institution's management team, reporting to the Head of Institution. Together with fellow managers, you share joint responsibility for the entire operation. As a manager at SiS, it is a prerequisite that you have a good ability to collaborate with other managers and specialists at the institution. Competence development is important to us at SiS; as a new manager, you will undergo, in addition to a local introduction, authority-wide training and join a network of unit managers across the country.

Qualifications

At SiS, we prioritize good leadership.
