Expert in Work Operations, ASV, and 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 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 section coordinates and provides support at the national, regional, and local levels on issues related to employment branches: work operations, practical work training, ASV (other structured activities), and services primarily in prisons but to some extent also in detention centers. The section has both centrally and regionally placed employees and is part of the unit for treatment, work, and studies in the department for operational content.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As an expert in the section for work operations, ASV, and service, you will 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 in prisons within work operations. With the rapid expansion of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, work operations will continue to be an important part of the recidivism prevention and isolation-breaking work. The job involves working on the issue from a national perspective, but you will also support individual regions and prisons as needed. In some areas, you will have a regional responsibility for these issues. The work also includes requirements specification and management of various central agreements.

There is an ongoing effort to review how the section's work can be developed, which is why the tasks may change to some extent.

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