Team Leader for Interdisciplinary Citizen Teams in Ebeltoft

Be part of developing the future elderly care in Syddjurs Municipality

Do you want to lead two multidisciplinary citizen teams, where employees have a great responsibility close to the citizen, and where your most important task is to create direction, well-being and development?

In Syddjurs Municipality we are recruiting as of January 1, 2027 or by agreement.

a team leader for Citizen Team 11 and 12 in Søhusparken in Ebeltoft. We are looking for a leader who can create followership, support self-managing teams and contribute to the continued development of our elderly care.

A leadership job with meaning, responsibility and influence

You will be the leader for approximately 40-50 engaged employees spread over two multidisciplinary citizen teams. Together you solve holistic care tasks for the citizens based on rehabilitation, professional quality and strong relationships.

You will be responsible for creating the best framework for employees to succeed with their tasks close to the citizen. This involves both ensuring stable operations, high professional quality and a good working environment, as well as supporting the development of self-managing and cross-disciplinary teams.

You will also step into a reality that many leaders in elderly care know. We experience, like the rest of the sector, challenges with recruitment and retention of staff, increasing complexity in citizen pathways and high expectations for quality, coherence and continuity in care.

Therefore we are seeking a leader who can stand strong in daily operations, be close to the employees and at the same time drive development. A leader who can create direction in a complex daily life, support employees’ professional and personal development and contribute to us remaining an attractive workplace in the future as well.

You will become part of Cluster East, where you report to the cluster leader and collaborate closely with your team leader colleague, resource planners and other partners.

With us you do not face the leadership task alone. We prioritize sparring, shared leadership responsibility and a strong collegial community where we help each other with both operations, development and the challenges we encounter along the way.

You will become part of the Syddjurs model

In Syddjurs Municipality we work from the vision of strengthening citizens’ self-determination and creating greater coherence and continuity in care through multidisciplinary, self-managing citizen teams.

This means that decisions, to the greatest extent possible, are made close to the citizen by the employees who know the citizen’s needs best.

This places particular demands on leadership.

As a team leader you must be able to create direction without taking over the employees’ responsibilities. You must support employees’ professional development, promote cross-disciplinary collaboration and ensure the quality of task completion through trust, dialogue and clear leadership.

We will of course provide a thorough introduction to both the Syddjurs model and the leadership role.
