Service Technician at the Swedish Prison and Probation Service in Umeå

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 main 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 Umeå area includes the closed prison Umeå, the open prison Sörbyn, and the remand facility Umeå. We are undergoing significant capacity increases, and there is much happening in the area in terms of renovations and new constructions. The largest professional group is correctional officers, but we also have healthcare professionals, administrative staff, educators, production leaders, etc. At the Sörbyn prison, inmates are engaged in labor market training, learning centers, various treatment programs, or work in the kitchen, carpentry, crop production, packaging/assembly, etc. The Sörbyn prison is an agricultural prison with grain cultivation and animal husbandry. At the Umeå prison, inmates are engaged in wood/industry, kitchen, learning centers, and treatment programs. The prison and remand facility Umeå is about a 10-minute walk from the nearest bus stop, and the Sörbyn prison is easiest to reach by car. Staff parking is available at all units.
