Transport Planner at the Swedish Prison and Probation 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 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 Transport Department (TA) is tasked with transporting and supervising individuals deprived of their liberty. These are clients of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service who are moved between remand facilities and prisons, to court hearings, hospitals, and more. TA also transports individuals deprived of their liberty on behalf of the Police, the National Board of Institutional Care, the Migration Agency, and psychiatry.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a transport planner, you will have the operational responsibility to lead and allocate transport assignments within the planning area. Transport planners are responsible, together with colleagues, for risk analyses and transport planning for transport assignments with the mandate to decide on, among other things, restraints and staffing. Planning is done based on high demands for safety, efficiency, service level, and good resource management.

To some extent, the job also involves more strategic planning, such as during major trials. An important aspect of the job is to continuously collaborate with clients, colleagues within the planning section, and transport personnel throughout the planning process. In your daily work, you will have many different points of contact, including clients, travel agencies, airlines, and border police. You will work in the administrative systems of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service and have some responsibility for personnel ranking.

You are a clear representative of the employer. You should be able to lead and support staff in their work, as well as maintain high dynamic security in daily operations. The needs of the operation and directed assignments from the prison inspector will influence the more detailed distribution of tasks within the area of responsibility.
