Swedish Prison and Probation Service is Growing – We are Building New Facilities and Seeking 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 transportation.

The section coordinates and provides support at the national, regional, and local levels in matters concerning employment branches: work operations, practical work training, ASV (other structured activities), and services primarily in prisons but also to some extent 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 DESCRIPTION

As an expert in the section for work operations, ASV, and services, 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 ASV and services. These employment branches will, with the rapid expansion of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, be 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, setting requirements and managing various central agreements.

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

The work involves national business trips. There is also the possibility of remote work agreements and flexible working hours.

Furthermore, you are expected to contribute to ensuring that everyone is treated equally through your approach. We place great importance on personal suitability.
