We are changing the employment efforts from within – are you the team leader who takes operational responsibility and keeps direction in day-to-day work?

Do you want the daily management responsibility for a professional community with complex case processes? Do you thrive on leading from the front, making decisions and ensuring the engine runs – even when pressure rises? Can you set direction, have the necessary conversations in time and catch a case in everyday life before it ends up political?

Then you may be our new team leader for the professional community Indsatsklare.

We are in the middle of a movement. With the upcoming employment reform as a starting point, we are changing our approach to working with citizens and our way of being a municipality. We must be more citizen- and business-friendly, strengthen cross-collaboration, and work with digitization and AI. It requires a team leader who can both drive daily operations and hold fast to the direction as we move forward.

You will be daily leader for 14 advisers and 1 administrative employee

The DSA&Job Section consists of 33 employees. As team leader you have the daily personnel and operational responsibility for the professional community Indsatsklare: 14 advisers and 1 administrative employee. The professional community works, among other things, with:

The task requires an overview, precision and professional safety. The cases must be in order before they land with the chairperson.

You ensure that daily operations are coherent from day to day. Tasks are distributed, followed up and completed on time.

You are responsible for ensuring the quality is in order, that deadlines are kept, and that results live up to the agreed requirements.
