Vacant job

Are you ready for a bigger challenge? The Swedish Police Authority is Sweden's largest authority with approximately 40,700 employees across the country. With us, you have the opportunity to contribute to the Police's mission to increase safety and reduce crime in society.

The Jämtland Police Area is one of the police areas in the Northern Police Region. The geographical area covers eight municipalities. The Jämtland Police Area is divided into two local police areas: Östersund and Jämtland/Härjedalen. At the police area level, there is an investigation section and a police area office.

We are now seeking hourly employed detention guards for the locations of Östersund, Bräcke, Sveg, Funäsdalen, Åre, and Strömsund.

As an hourly employee with us, you will have what is called an intermittent employment. This means that you are employed for each individual work shift and receive financial compensation per hour. The number of hours worked varies per person and over time.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Your main task will be to work in a detention environment. In the role of detention guard, you will be the one who receives and manages individuals who are deprived of their liberty, and you will be their closest contact during their time in the detention facility. Many are deprived of their liberty for the purpose of investigating crimes, but it can also involve shorter detentions due to, for example, the law on the apprehension of intoxicated persons (LOB).

The work pace varies and depends on how many are detained in the facility. It can be physically demanding and requires that you are in good health.

Work in other locations within the county may occur.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who has:

• Work experience that the employer deems relevant for the position or is a police student
• Good knowledge of Swedish in both spoken and written form
• A valid driver's license (B)

It is an advantage if you also have:

• Current work experience that includes personal meetings deemed relevant by the employer
• Experience working with and meeting people in vulnerable environments as deemed relevant by the employer
• Current work experience working with detained individuals, such as in corrections, detention guard, HVB/SIS homes, security guard, or other experience deemed relevant by the employer
• Experience working within the police, another authority, or public administration as deemed relevant by the employer
• Knowledge/skill regarding police data systems such as RES, lost property, and Durtvå
• Police students
• Approved grades in self-defense courses or have similar and relevant training that we consider applicable for the position

Personal Attributes

As an employee, you are the police's face to the public and are expected to work with commitment, availability, and efficiency. You have an interest in working with people and have the ability to empathize with others' perspectives and situations without taking over their feelings. In stressful situations, you can act calmly, controlled, and professionally. You apply a high level of security awareness, meaning you are reliable in situations where physical violence may arise. The job also requires you to work well with others. You have a flexible approach and enjoy helping and supporting others.

We will place great importance on personal attributes.
