Vacant job

Do you want to help develop the future short-term care facilities in Uppsala Municipality? We are looking for an engaged Business Developer who wants to contribute to safe, high-quality, and person-centered care where both users and relatives are at the center. Here, you will combine operational work in the facilities with strategic development work.

I am Therese Lundgren, responsible for the recruitment, and I am the Area Manager for Early Interventions. For me, it is important that we together create a high-quality operation where employees have the right conditions to do a good job and where users and their relatives feel secure.

The mission of the operation is to develop preventive and accessible interventions, based on knowledge and evidence, so that more citizens can receive support at an early stage. The goal of the interventions is for residents of Uppsala to be able to live an independent and healthy life for as long as possible. The department houses several operations, including meeting points, day activities, support for relatives, and security patrols.

The operation covers several units, including Sävja with 20 short-term beds focused on dementia care, and Svartbäcken with 58 beds focused on nursing care.

As a Business Developer for the short-term units, you are responsible for ensuring the quality of the operation by updating routines, checklists, and ombudsman roles in step 1, developing teamwork with licensed personnel, and conducting internal controls. This is complemented by implementation work together with the employees at the units.

You work operationally close to the activity together with employees while maintaining a strategic perspective and contributing with analysis and a holistic view. In the role, you support staff through method meetings and competence development in both theory and practice, and drive development work to strengthen care quality for users and relatives. The work is carried out in close collaboration with responsible operation/unit managers and licensed personnel. In addition, you will have close cooperation with the support function in the department for Quality and Development.

• Coordinate and develop ombudsman roles and clarify assignments and expectations
• Drive development work that leads to improvement and efficiency of the short-term units
• Implement national guidelines and relevant quality registers
• Develop targeted training initiatives based on the needs of the operations and the individual knowledge level of employees
• Ensure that employees complete mandatory training, which is done in collaboration with operation managers
