Do you dream of a leadership space where you have elbow room for your visions, but you don’t stand alone? Where sparring, shared direction and shared responsibility are the driving force? And are you motivated by creating the best conditions for citizens, staff and quality in collaboration with interdisciplinary partners?

Then you may be the group leader we are looking for for Home Care Evening/Night in Langeland Municipality.

We are seeking an ambitious leader who will head a well-functioning group with high professionalism, strong cohesion and a shared focus on creating the best possible everyday life and quality of life for the citizens.

About the home care in Langeland

Home Care Evening/Night is a well-established group with 37 permanent employees and a relief team of 14 dedicated staff. Many have been part of the organization for many years, and several have celebrated anniversaries. This provides a strong culture characterized by experience, independence, helpfulness and collegial support.

The visiting home care is organized into three day groups – North, Central and South – as well as one consolidated Evening/Night group, covering the entire island. As group leader you will therefore be responsible for an area with a wide range of professional expertise and many collaboration interfaces.

There is systematic work with citizen conferences, professional sparring and training, and there is strong attention to the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration as a prerequisite for quality and coherence in citizen pathways.
