We offer you an exciting job where you, together with your colleagues in the management group and your team, will have the opportunity to influence and develop the operations.

We are now seeking a unit manager for the Complementary Services unit. Here, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists, social workers, education and career counselors, and language developers work together.

In addition to supporting individual clients, the employees within Complementary Services also provide guidance and support to colleagues, fostering learning throughout the Labor and Income Support department. The unit is located at Nygatan 19 in central Linköping.
As a manager in Linköping Municipality, you will have trust-based working hours.
We are looking for someone with a university degree in a field that the employer deems relevant, such as social work, occupational therapy, or behavioral sciences.
