Job Advertisement: Teacher within the Swedish Prison and Probation Service

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is expanding – we are building new facilities, renovating, and adding to our workforce. Our primary goal is to reduce recidivism – to break the cycle of crime. If we succeed, society will be safer and more secure for everyone. We are the authority responsible for prisons, probation, remand, and client transportation.

The Learning Center is a national organization where the Adult Education Section provides education for the clients of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service. At each prison in the country and some remand 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 education for immigrants. The adult education is nationally coordinated and organized so that studies function regardless of which facility a client comes to, even if they are transferred during their studies.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Clients in need of education can apply or be referred to adult education. The teaching is individualized and takes place at the Learning Center. As a teacher within the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, you work in three roles. You teach your students at the Halmstad prison in the learning center's premises, and you will also support students in the role of educational supervisor for those who have their subject teacher remotely within the authority. In addition, you also teach students remotely who study at other prisons. This means that you will have continuous contact with and collaborate with teachers and other colleagues across the country. All work takes place at the Sagsjön prison in Lindome.

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 systematic approaches. The work is conducted both independently and in close collaboration with colleagues, which is why good collaboration and initiative skills are important qualities, as well as the ability to work independently.

It is important for us that you share the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's fundamental values of a humane view of humanity, respect for the individual, and belief 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 secondary school teacher's degree and certification with subject competence in one or more of the following subjects: mathematics, business economics, or natural science
• The ability to express oneself well in spoken and written Swedish
• Good computer skills and experience working with digital support systems
