Educational Supervisor at the Swedish Prison and Probation Service

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 most important goal is to reduce recidivism – to break the vicious cycle. If we succeed, society will be safer and more secure for everyone. We are the authority responsible for prisons, probation, detention centers, and client transport.

The Learning Center is a national organization where the adult education section conducts training for the clients of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service. At each prison in the country and some detention centers, there is one or more learning centers where teachers instruct at basic and upper secondary levels, corresponding to municipal adult education, as well as Swedish language training for immigrants. Adult education is nationally coordinated and organized so that studies function regardless of which facility a client comes to and even if they are transferred during their studies. Work is conducted both from the detention center in Norrköping and from the learning center at the Skenäs prison, in Vikbolandet.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Clients who need education can apply and be referred to Adult Education. The teaching is individualized and takes place at the detention center in Norrköping. You will support students and teachers, both practically and pedagogically, in the role of educational supervisor. The teaching teacher may be located locally or remotely at another prison. This means that you will have continuous contact with and collaborate with teachers and other colleagues across the country.

Children and young people in detention, who are enrolled in a basic or upper secondary school in the community, receive help in establishing contact with the relevant school to continue their studies. You will be the link between the student and the school.
