Trainer 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, detention centers, and client transport.

The Education Unit is responsible for the authority's educational provision based on both the goals and strategic choices of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service as well as changes in the external environment. This responsibility includes pedagogical responsibility for the learning and education of employees. The unit is tasked with developing work regarding pedagogy, production, distance education, and e-learning. The main task of the unit is to analyze, plan, further develop, implement, and follow up the authority's long-term educational activities and competence development for most occupational categories within the authority. The work is carried out in close collaboration with the operations, and the authority's joint staff training is conducted and quality assured by the unit.

The six educational centers of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service are located in Härnösand, Örebro, Stockholm, Norrköping, Gothenburg, and Malmö. The Norrköping Education Center is located at Slottsgatan 77-79, opposite the authority's national headquarters.
