Ambitious and hands-on team leader at Solgården, who makes employees' professional skills flourish

Do you sometimes wonder: how can I practice leadership that gives employees courage and the opportunity to create something even more amazing for the citizens? Are you passionate about nerding leadership, sharing responsibility and bringing power closer to those who make a difference in everyday life? Do you feel confident in yourself and genuinely happy when it’s the employees who receive the applause?

Then you may be our new team leader!

Do you want to be part of securing the continued development of a fantastic house with an amazing group of employees and even more fantastic citizens, so read on here.

We are looking for a new team leader who loves facilitating and gets energy from seeing others succeed.

We can offer a group of employees who are incredibly professionally skilled and ambitious on behalf of the citizens and on their own behalf. That also means that you do not need to be a subject specialist if you are curious about our area. The important thing for us is that you are good at leading and developing employees who have a high degree of professionalism and independence.

Your tasks will include, among other things

• facilitate sparring and development processes with and between the employees
• implement and guide change processes
• help put employees’ knowledge to use and promote employees’ talents
• develop the range of offerings in collaboration with relevant employees
• translate wild, creative ideas into structures that can function in daily life
• support the completion of projects and initiatives.

You will become part of a leadership team with Solgården’s leader. Depending on your profile, you will assemble the concrete task portfolio and decide how employees are distributed between you – you will lead about 25 employees. To ensure the leadership team complements each other as well as possible, we are looking for you who is ambitious and dynamic, but at the same time down-to-earth and practically oriented, and focused on what can be done and how it can be planned.

You are not afraid to ask curious questions and challenge existing practice among pedagogues and your own leader. You can learn more about leadership in Anne Thybo Høyer’s leadership foundation here: Ledelsesgrundlag.pdf .

We experiment a lot , and you should ideally think that it’s cool and have an eye for learning opportunities when we occasionally make a huge misstep. It requires that you have initiative and trust in the employees’ ideas and competencies.

Our view of people is social-constructivist. It means that we start from the premise that people and situations cannot be understood independently of the perspectives we meet them with. What we notice and attach significance to in a given situation or relationship depends on our perspective and is therefore always dynamic and changeable.

It is important for us that you share this view of people and are curious about the possibilities and potentials that lie in each person. The employee group is focused on what users can do and what they can develop the ability to do. Our ambition is not merely to give users a good day, but to create frameworks and opportunities for learning, development and new experiences.

The everyday life as a leader at Solgården is diverse . As a leader you are very visible in the house, employees have easy access to you, and the users also come by to greet you. You will have your own office and the option to close the door, and at the same time a large part of your time will be spent in dialogue.

It can be anything from ”what should I do right now with this project” to ”what should we be aware of regarding insurance when we acquire trampolines.” The important thing in the dialogues is that you relate with curiosity, and that you are skilled at facilitating and setting the frame for professional sparring between the employees.

You are a success in the job , if you have contributed to the employees’ professionalism thriving, and you have put the employees’ competencies to use and thereby developed Solgården. And if you have facilitated the employees developing great solutions and offerings for the citizens. You have managed to join the community that exists at Solgården, where we depend on having a very short distance and a close connection to one another, even though we are a large group of employees. And you are a success in the job if you can step aside and let the employees be the most skilled.

We need you to be

• ambitious about developing your own leadership competencies and investigative about how leadership can contribute to a workplace in great development in 2026
• leading by example on the employees’ initiative – and know when to step back and stand beside
• listening and trusting highly specialized employees who do not consider themselves experts
• able to go meta and develop while staying down-to-earth
• curious in everything you do
• good at planning and concluding
• seeing possibilities – and not a fault-finder
• independent and proactive.
