Job Advertisement: Teacher in Adult Education

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 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 provides education 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, equivalent to municipal adult education, as well as Swedish for immigrants. 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 apply for 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 Högsbo prison in the learning center's premises, and you will also support students in the role of pedagogical 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 have continuous contact with and collaborate with teachers and other colleagues across the country. All work takes place at the prison and detention center in Högsbo.

QUALIFICATIONS

In your role as a teacher, you are a skilled educator with the desire 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 carried out both independently and in close collaboration with colleagues, which is why good teamwork and initiative 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 human 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: mathematics, business economics, or 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:
