We are now looking for heads of unit who want to work as a substitute for our regular heads of unit during the summer of 2025. We are looking for unit managers for our elderly care (nursing homes, ordinary housing / home care) and disability care. Are you interested in an exciting and challenging assignment where you make a difference for others? Welcome with your application! In elderly care, services and care are offered to those who need support in daily life due to illness, disability and age. This can include, for example, social alarms, help in their own homes (ordinary housing/home care) or living in one of our care homes for the elderly. Disability services provide support and services to adults and/or children to enable them to live as independent a life as possible, as well as activities that provide services to children and young people, such as short-term accommodation for children. Users are granted support under the Social Services Act with housing support/home care, special housing or personal assistance under LSS. Read more about our activities here. We know that it is not always easy to be new at work and therefore we do our very best to make you feel as prepared as possible for your summer job with us. You will receive an introduction that includes, for example, training in systems and working methods, as well as a workplace introduction where you will work in parallel with one of our regular unit managers for a while. Your tasks As a unit manager during the summer, you will be responsible for one or more homes/areas within elderly care or disability care. You are responsible for ensuring that our care recipients/residents receive good care, that the activities maintain high quality and the employees' work environment. You will lead the care staff in their daily work and plan the activities based on the needs of the care recipients/residents. Some focus will also be on staffing issues and recruitment, as well as contact with internal and external actors in the vicinity of the care recipients/residents. About you We are looking for you who have completed, or started, higher education, perhaps in behavioral, social or health sciences. We consider it positive if you have previous experience of working in elderly care or disability care. It is an advantage if you have previously worked as a manager. As a person, you are a good organizer, structured and responsible. As a unit manager, you will have to deal with and resolve situations that arise suddenly. It is therefore important that you are solution-focused, have good prioritization skills and can take your own initiative. Welcome with your application!
