Section Manager - Kjøpmannsgården housing

The Unit for Facilitated Services is responsible for the operation of service offerings for people with disabilities in the district. This now includes 8 homes, a day center, and a canteen project. There are approximately 120 full-time equivalents associated with the unit.

The services are located throughout the district, but due to the district's size the service locations are within walking distance of each other. The homes have somewhat different user groups, but common to all homes is that we shall have good quality in the services and develop the services in line with central requirements and expectations. We focus on professional and competence development. We collaborate in a team with the unit manager, and have established a dedicated professional forum for 3-year environmental therapists across the services in the unit.

Kjøpmannsgården housing is a residence for 5 people with extensive care needs. There are 14.7 full-time equivalents associated with the home - distributed across 27 permanent positions. We are looking for a manager with adequate health and social professional competence who is innovative and development-oriented. A clear leader with good relational competence, the ability to inspire and involve employees in working towards common goals. This requires the ability to collaborate with the specialist health service and other municipal actors.

As the leader of the section you must have a genuine interest in working with people with extensive disabilities.

The application must, in addition to the CV, include copies of diplomas and certificates.

To streamline the recruitment process, Oslo municipality has introduced an electronic application form.
We therefore ask that all applications be sent electronically. We point out that applicants may be listed on a public applicant list even if the applicant has requested anonymity, but you will in such a case be notified.
