Strength Leader Gällivare Municipality

As a Deputy Strength Leader, you are the supervisor for the staff in both daily operations and operational tasks. You work closely with the regular Strength Leader on the shift team. Together, you plan and are responsible for the daily work at the station, as well as other preventive and operational tasks.

Being a Strength Leader involves leading and planning your own and the group's work based on the overall mission of the rescue services, which means you and your staff will work with both accident prevention and damage mitigation tasks.

You are independently responsible for your own cases/tasks, but the work also requires close collaboration with colleagues and other authorities around you.

The Rescue Services in Gällivare Municipality are under development, so you will naturally be part of the work to improve and develop processes, routines, and methods in the operations. You are expected to have the ambition and desire to develop the operations in accordance with the municipality's operational goals together with the unit manager.

In the role of Strength Leader, you also have contact with Gällivare's residents, businesses, other authorities, and similar entities.

We expect that you have good insight into the Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Act and other laws and regulations that govern and influence the work of the rescue services.

You should have the desire to help develop the organization forward.

Since the rescue services are undergoing intensive change work and there are significant challenges in the work, we place great emphasis on you being flexible and open to change. We also view it positively if you have experience working in a politically governed organization.

To thrive in the role of Strength Leader, you need the ability to make well-founded decisions independently based on the organization's values and goals. It is important that you have a broad perspective and can see the whole picture in your way of working.
