Every year, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) makes 21 million decisions that impact people's lives and society as a whole. We disburse approximately 260 billion SEK annually. These are tax funds we are entrusted with, which is a significant responsibility. Therefore, we delve into every case, adhere to laws and regulations, inform and guide, care, and show consideration. This is a job for you who want to take responsibility. Welcome to Försäkringskassan.
Near leadership, change, sustainable workplace
The Business Support Department has a clearly defined responsibility for the agency's robust office premises, encompassing both implementation and overarching, coordinating functional responsibility. The assignment involves ensuring that office solutions meet requirements related to, among other things, security protection, and strengthen the agency's ability to maintain robustness in crises and heightened readiness.
As a Unit Manager, you are the leader closest to the employees and the operations. You are responsible for leading and driving daily work based on the department's assignments and goals, where the state's value base permeates your work. Through your leadership, you convey clear expectations, follow up on goals, and provide your employees with the right conditions to take their responsibility. You have personnel responsibility as well as result and follow-up responsibility for the teams in your unit. You also represent Försäkringskassan in external collaborations.
At the start, your unit will consist of 7 employees located in different places. The unit will grow as the agency establishes more robust office premises.
Through close leadership, you create the predictability, security, and sustainability necessary for employees to take responsibility and meet the need for change. You create understanding of contexts, direction, and the target images set by the department, and develop the plans your operations need. As a Unit Manager, you are a support for the Area Manager and are part of the area's management group, where you contribute your competence and engagement. You adapt and exercise your leadership in a way that creates conditions for employees to use their judgment and competence.
The position involves handling confidential information, which places high demands on proper handling. Therefore, it is important that you, who are to work with us, have a high level of security awareness.
