The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is Growing – We Are Building New, Renovating, and Expanding and Seeking 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, detention centers, and client transport.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As an expert in the section for work operations, ASV, and service, you have a challenging and developing assignment. The tasks are varied and focused on developing employment for clients/inmates in prisons and detention centers together with the section's employees. Your main focus will be to work on issues related to employment at the prison within ASV and service. These areas of employment will, with the rapid expansion of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's operations, become an important part of the work to prevent recidivism and break isolation.

The work involves addressing these issues from a national perspective, but you will also support individual regions and prisons as needed. In some areas, you will have regional responsibility for these issues. You will also work with your colleagues to develop, implement, and manage various national concepts that can be used within ASV. The work includes, among other things, requirement specification and management of various central agreements. There is an ongoing effort in the section where we are reviewing how the work should develop in the future through a business analysis. Therefore, the tasks may change.

The work involves national business travel. There is an option for remote work agreements and flexible working hours.
