Kriminalvården is hiring teachers for Lärcentrum

Kriminalvården 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.

Lärcentrum is a national organization where the Adult Education section provides education for Kriminalvården's clients. At each prison in the country and at some detention centers, there is one or more Lärcentrum where teachers instruct at basic and upper secondary levels, corresponding to municipal adult education, as well as Swedish for immigrants. The adult education is nationally cohesive and organized so that studies function regardless of which facility a client comes to and even if they are transferred during their studies.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Clients who need education can apply or be referred to apply for adult education. The teaching is individualized and takes place at Lärcentrum. As a teacher within Kriminalvården, you work in three roles. You teach your students at the Umeå prison in the Lärcentrum premises, and you will also support students in the role of pedagogical supervisor for those who have their subject teacher remotely within the authority. In addition, you also teach students remotely who study at other prisons. This means that you will have continuous contact with and collaborate with teachers and other colleagues across the country. All work takes place at the prison.

QUALIFICATIONS

In your role as a teacher, you are a skilled educator with the will and ability to motivate, inspire, and lead students to achieve their goals. You are clear and engaged in your work and have a good ability to create structure and systematics. The work is conducted both independently and in close collaboration with colleagues, which is why good collaboration and initiative skills are important traits, as well as the ability to work independently.

It is important for us that you share Kriminalvården's fundamental values of a humane view of humanity, respect for the individual, and belief in the individual's will and ability to develop. You are also aware of and understand how background, culture, and group affiliation affect yourself and others. Furthermore, you are expected to contribute to ensuring that everyone is treated equally through your approach. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

We are looking for someone who has:

• A teaching degree and certification with subject competence in one or more of the following subjects: Mathematics, Natural Science, Business Economics
• The ability to express yourself well in spoken and written Swedish
• Good computer skills and experience working with digital support systems

It is an advantage if you have:

Please attach your teaching certification with a list of qualifications in your application.
