Administrator for the Education Center Örebro

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is growing – we are building new, renovating, and expanding, and we are now looking for 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, remand facilities, and client transport.

The HR department is a national department at the Swedish Prison and Probation Service headquarters, tasked with ensuring that the organization has good conditions to further develop its ability to achieve its goals by being an attractive employer, workplace, training provider, and partner that makes a difference in society. The HR department is on an exciting development and transformation journey, and our HR employees work with goals and results in focus, with people and operations at the center. The HR department consists of four units and has about 400 employees, distributed across the units for education, planning and employer development, operational HR support, and leadership and employee relations.

The Education Unit will work strategically and long-term with educational supply and competence development for the entire authority and, in close collaboration with operations, plan, develop, administer, implement, follow up, and ensure the quality of training. The Education Unit consists of six sections, including one section that works with planning and follow-up and one section that works with admissions and training production, as well as four sections whose main task is to carry out the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's common training programs for employees and managers. The Education Unit currently has training facilities in six locations across the country: Gothenburg, Härnösand, Malmö, Norrköping, Stockholm, and Örebro.
