Hall Prison is located just outside Södertälje. Approximately 400 employees and 20 managers manage, lead, and develop the operations that accommodate over 350 inmates. The largest professional group is correctional officers, but the prison also employs administrative staff, educators, production leaders, and others. In addition to standard units, the prison has special units for inmates with specific needs and one of the country’s three security units. Inmates are engaged in activities such as education, treatment programs, other structured activities, or in the prison's production, which includes assembly, packaging, laundry, and ceramics manufacturing.

At Hall, we prioritize a health-promoting work environment and can offer, for example, a staff gym to use during breaks and also in your free time, access to a sports hall, library, and recovery room with a massage chair.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The work operation of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service is one of several initiatives aimed at providing inmates with meaningful employment during their time in prison and promoting their reintegration into society after release. The work operation at Hall Prison currently consists of seven different activities, of which the laundry industry employs the most clients.

As a production leader, you will supervise our clients in the prison's production. In your daily contact with the inmates, your work involves contributing to their learning while also maintaining order and security. Together with your colleagues, over 25 production leaders distributed among the activities, you will motivate the clients to participate in the work, plan, and lead. The work includes inspections, maintenance of premises, some ongoing machine maintenance, inventory management, administration, and documentation. The role of the production leader is linked to responsibility for daily operations, and you will also participate in the production work to ensure that our deliveries occur on time as agreed. All activities are conducted without compromising safety.
