Vacant job

Do you want to help build Kraftens Hus Skaraborg – a new welfare actor in Sweden?

The association Kraftens Hus Skaraborg is now being established, and we are looking for an Operations Manager who wants to be involved from the start and create an operation that makes a real difference for people. We are looking for you who want to help build, lead, and develop operations for cancer-affected individuals in Skaraborg.

Kraftens Hus is a meeting place for cancer-affected individuals – for everyone who in different ways has been affected by a cancer diagnosis; as a patient, next of kin, family member, friend, or survivor. Through activities, lectures, and meeting places, support, knowledge, and community are offered, complementing the efforts of healthcare.

Kraftens Hus is a user-driven social innovation operating in the borderland between care and everyday life.

Our vision is simple:

No one should have to face cancer alone!

About the role

As Operations Manager, you have the overall responsibility for leading, developing, and establishing Kraftens Hus Skaraborg together with the association's board.

You lead the daily operations and work both operationally close to the activities and strategically. The role involves close contact with cancer-affected individuals, volunteers, partners, and various actors in society.

Your responsibilities include among other things

• Overall responsibility for the development and content of the operations in collaboration with the board
• Lead and participate in daily work
• Responsibility for personnel, working environment, and management
• Responsibility for volunteers and employees
• Budget, economy, and follow-up responsibility
• Collaboration with healthcare, municipalities, patient associations, civil society, and business life
• Work on long-term financing in close collaboration with the board
• Communication and visibility of the operations
• Reporting to the board
• Being an ex-officio member of the association's board

We are looking for you who

• Have a relevant higher education or university degree, for example within healthcare, rehabilitation, social work, or another area that the employer deems equivalent
• Have experience of leadership, management, or operational development
• Have good ability to create relationships and collaboration with various actors

It is meritorious if you have:

• Have a warm and respectful approach
• Are confident in meeting people in different life situations
• Are proactive, communicative, and solution-oriented
• Are structured and responsible
• Have good collaboration skills
• Enjoy building operations and creating engagement together with others

The operations are based in Skövde, but the assignment covers all of Skaraborg. Initially, support will be offered through external meeting places, pop-up operations, and activities in different municipalities, with the ambition to eventually establish long-term meeting places in several locations in the region.

As Operations Manager, you have the assignment to lead the establishment of the operations in Skaraborg. Within the framework of the operations' budget, you will be able to recruit 1–2 employees, who will be part of the team and report to you.

The position involves some evening and weekend work.

We offer

A meaningful, developmental, and varied job where you get the opportunity to build a new operation from scratch.
