Production Leaders for Sörbyn Prison
The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is growing – we are building new facilities, renovating, and expanding, and we are now looking for more employees. Our primary goal is to reduce recidivism – to break the vicious cycle. If we succeed, society becomes safer and more secure for everyone. We are the authority responsible for prisons, probation, remand facilities, and client transport.
The Umeå operational area includes the closed prison Umeå, the open prison Sörbyn, and the Umeå remand facility. About 220 employees manage and develop the operations, which currently accommodate approximately 290 inmates. The largest professional group is prison officers, but we also have healthcare professionals, administrative staff, educators, production leaders, etc. At Umeå prison, inmates are engaged in wood and metal industry, textiles, kitchen learning center, and various treatment programs. Sörbyn prison is an agricultural facility. Inmates are engaged in various labor market training programs, learning centers, treatment programs, or work in the kitchen, carpentry, agriculture, barn, sawmill, service, etc. The Umeå prison and remand facility are about a 10-minute walk from the nearest bus stop, while Sörbyn prison requires a car. Staff parking is available at all units.
