We are thrilled that you are interested in working with us!

Here in Western Värmland, among vast lakes and lush forests, there is a strong glow that spreads warmth and lights up the way. This glow is our vision and guiding star. Today, Arvika Municipal Consortium employs approximately 2,700 competent staff members. You are welcome to join us!

Do you want to help shape the future home care services through trust-based and strategic leadership? We are currently looking for a Department Manager who wants to lead through other managers and create sustainable conditions for a high-quality operation with a strong focus on citizens.

Home care is a central part of our healthcare and social care operations, and we work to enable a safe and independent life in one's own home. The operation is actively involved in the transition towards future social services and close-to-home care, which demands flexibility and quality.

As the Department Manager for home care, you have overall responsibility for operations, quality, economy, and working environment. You lead several unit managers and work through them to create a well-functioning and development-oriented organization.

You are part of the administration's management group and actively contribute to strategic decisions and long-term development. The role includes ensuring that operations are conducted in accordance with current legislation, goals, and guidelines, as well as driving development work related to future healthcare and social care.

You are responsible for the department's budget and financial results, as well as for monitoring the operation's goals, quality, and efficiency.

We are looking for someone who believes in and works based on trust-based leadership. You create conditions for your managers to take responsibility, grow in their roles, and drive the operation forward. Through clarity, dialogue, and trust, you build a culture characterized by participation, accountability, and development.

• Good knowledge of relevant legislation, such as the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Health and Medical Services Act (HSL).
• Experience with budget responsibility, operational management, and working environment issues.

To thrive in this role, we see that you as a person are a secure and strategic leader with good collaboration skills and a genuine commitment to healthcare and social care. You have a holistic perspective and the ability to switch between strategic issues and operational needs. You are development-oriented, curious, and dare to think new thoughts, while simultaneously creating structure and direction in the organization. You enjoy the role of leading through other managers and have the ability to build good relationships and strong trust within the organization.
