The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is Growing – We are Building New, Renovating, and Expanding and are Now Seeking More Employees

Our most important 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 national, regional, and local levels on issues related to employment activities: 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 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 work operations. With a rapid expansion of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's operations, work operations will continue to be an important part of the recidivism prevention and isolation-breaking work. The work means that you will address the issue 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. The work includes, among other things, requirement 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 work involves national business trips. There is an opportunity for remote work agreements and flexible working hours.

Furthermore, you see the big picture and take into account the broader perspective, as well as having the ability to plan, organize, and prioritize your work effectively.

It is important to us that you share the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's fundamental values of a humane view of people, 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 importance on personal suitability.

• Relevant higher education or university degree, alternatively other education combined with experience deemed relevant by the Swedish Prison and Probation Service
• Experience in qualified investigative and development work within public administration
