What we offer you

An enriching and socially important assignment where you have the opportunity to help shape the future of social services. The Social Services Administration is facing a major transition where new legal requirements, changed societal conditions, and high ambitions for increased independence for residents demand new ways of working and collaboration. As a change leader, you will have a key role in driving and coordinating this development within the area of employment and social security.

You are offered a combination of a strategic and operationally close role with great scope for influence, where you, together with managers, employees, and collaboration partners, contribute to developing a social service that strengthens residents' opportunities for self-support, work, studies, or other meaningful activities.

We have a wide selection of benefits related to activities, well-being, insurance, pension, remote work, and vacation: Our Benefits (#)

The Assignment

In the role, you will among other things:

• Lead and coordinate the development work within employment and social security.
• Identify development needs and translate these into concrete actions and improvement initiatives.
• Ensure that the operations are well prepared for upcoming legislation and national reforms.
• Develop and strengthen collaboration with internal and external actors, such as the Swedish Public Employment Service, educational providers, business life, and civil society.
• Support managers and operations in change work and implementation of new ways of working.
• Monitor, analyze, and evaluate results to ensure quality and goal achievement.
• Contribute to developing a social service that gives residents the right support, at the right time, from the right actor, with a focus on independence and participation.

The social services are facing extensive changes and reforms. Therefore, the content of the assignment may develop over time based on the operations' needs and the conditions created by the external environment and legislation. This gives you the opportunity to help shape both the role and future ways of working in the area.

Challenges and Opportunities

At the same time, you get a unique opportunity to influence, create structure, and turn ideas into concrete change. Together with managers, employees, and external actors, you contribute to developing ways of working that strengthen residents' opportunities for self-support and an independent life.
