Kriminalvården is looking for teachers for Lärcentrum

Kriminalvården 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 transportation.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Lärcentrum is a national organization where the Adult Education section provides education for Kriminalvården's clients. At each prison in the country and some detention centers, there is one or more Lärcentrum where teachers instruct at basic and upper secondary levels, corresponding to municipal adult education, as well as Swedish language education 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.

Clients who need education can apply or be referred to apply for adult education. The teaching is individualized and takes place at Lärcentrum. As a teacher within Kriminalvården, you work in three roles. You teach your students at the Fosie prison in the Lärcentrum facilities, and you will also support students in the role of educational supervisor for those who have their subject teacher remotely at the agency. In addition, you also teach students remotely who study at other prisons. This means that you have continuous contact with and collaborate with teachers and other colleagues across the country. All work takes place at the prison.

QUALIFICATIONS

In your role as a teacher, you are a skilled educator with the will and ability to motivate, inspire, and lead students to achieve their goals. You are clear and engaged in your work and have a good ability to create structure and systematics. The work is carried out both independently and in close collaboration with colleagues, which is why good teamwork and initiative skills are important characteristics, as well as the ability to work independently.

It is important for us that you share Kriminalvården's fundamental values of a humane view of humanity, respect for the individual, and faith in the individual's will and ability to develop. You are also aware of and understand how background, culture, and group affiliation affect yourself and others. Furthermore, you are expected to contribute to ensuring that everyone is treated equally through your approach. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

We are looking for someone who has:

• A teaching degree and certification with subject competence in one or more of the following subjects: Business Economics, Mathematics, and Natural Science.
• The ability to express yourself well in spoken and written Swedish
• Good computer skills and experience working with digital support systems.

It is an advantage if you have:

• Experience teaching in adult education/Komvux.
• Experience in distance education.

Please attach your teaching certification with subject competence.
