• are confident in your professional role and accustomed to making independent decisions
• have good skills in supervising, supporting, and motivating others
• express yourself well in spoken and written Swedish

It is an advantage if you have:

• experience in leadership or coordinating roles

As a person

You remain stable even in pressured situations and contribute to a positive collaborative climate.
