As department head in BBAL you will be responsible for the area's offerings at Saxenhøj. The Sakskøbing area includes services under the Social Services Act § 103 on protected employment and § 104 on activity and social contact offers.

You will become part of an organization where the task is solved in close collaboration with staff, citizens, relatives, the authorities and other relevant partners. At the same time you join a leadership team where peer sparring, shared reflection and mutual support are important parts of the collaboration.

As a leader you must be present in the relationships, listen to different perspectives and be close enough to everyday life to translate overarching goals and decisions into clear and meaningful practice.

Your key tasks

• Set a clear professional and organizational direction and be present in following up on the department's daily work.
• Take responsibility for and drive forward the already initiated processes in the various offerings.

• Ensure implementation and follow-up on political, strategic and managerial decisions.

We are looking for someone who

• Has a relevant professional education and preferably a leadership qualification or motivation to pursue one.
• Has management experience or documented experience with professional coordination and development.
• Has insight into the social sector and preferably experience with services under Social Services Act §§ 103 and 104.
• Can create buy-in through clear communication, involvement, respect and a genuine interest in people and daily practice.
• Works in a structured way, keeps an overview and follows through on decisions.
• Can balance professional ambitions, personnel considerations and financial constraints.
• Is a present, visible and engaged leader who seeks dialogue, is accessible to employees and follows up on agreements and decisions in practice. You are also curious, development-oriented and can handle changes with calm and direction.

We offer

• A meaningful leadership role with the opportunity to make a concrete difference for citizens and staff.
• A workplace where professionalism, collaboration, dialogue and presence are central values in everyday life.
• Committed staff and a dedicated leadership team where collegial sparring, knowledge sharing and shared responsibility for the overall task are highly valued, and where no one stands alone.
• Opportunity to influence the continued professional and organizational development of BBAL.
• Orientation and managerial sparring focusing on helping you settle into the role.

Your leadership style

We place emphasis on you being a leader who is close to the core task without taking over the employees' responsibilities. You are visible in everyday life, attentive to both the individual and the community, and you create room for professional reflection. Your presence should be felt through clear priorities, accessible sparring and persistent follow-up.
