As MAR (Medically Responsible), you have overall responsibility for quality, patient safety, and development within the rehabilitation area in a completely new role for Ekerö Municipality. The assignment is strategic and systematic and does not include patient-facing work. In this role, you will work closely with operational and unit managers, licensed staff within municipal health and medical care, as well as with MAS (Medical Managers) and other quality functions.

You will, among other things:

• provide support and advice to managers and staff
• collaborate with actors and providers within, inter alia, the region's health and medical care, municipal health and medical care, in-house services, and private providers.

The MAR assignment covers approximately 50 percent of the position. The remaining time, you work as a quality developer with follow-up, analysis, and development work within the Social Services Administration, focusing on provider activities.

It is an advantage if you have previous experience working in similar roles as MAR or within quality development, as well as experience in following up and developing quality based on systematic quality work.

To thrive with us, you need to have the ability to take initiative, take responsibility for your tasks, and adapt easily to periods of high work pace. You thrive in collaboration, build long-term relationships, and collaborate securely at different levels in the organization.

Since the role is completely new to us, you need to enjoy developing something new based on the operational needs and conditions. You also need to have very good judgment in shaping the role in collaboration with managers and key persons.

The team you will join consists, among others, of MAS, quality developers, and operational developers. The team has a learning, open, and supportive work climate. To thrive in the group and with the assignment, you need to be unpretentious and have the ability to create good relationships with colleagues and partners.
