Are you ready for a bigger task?

The Swedish Police Authority is Sweden's largest authority with approximately 40,000 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 North Police Region is the largest region in terms of area. The region consists of the four northernmost counties in Sweden and is organized into four police areas: Jämtland, Norrbotten, Västerbotten, and Västernorrland, which together are divided into 12 local police areas. Furthermore, there are three regional units: the operational unit, the intelligence unit, and the investigation unit, a regional office, as well as national departments represented in the region to support police operations.

The Norrbotten police area is Sweden's largest and northernmost region and is one of the police areas in the North region. The geographical area spans 14 municipalities – from Arvidsjaur municipality in the south to Kiruna municipality in the north.

We are now looking for someone interested in working hourly in the Norrbotten police area. You will work in both Kalix and Haparanda. 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.

You will receive internal training that may take place in another location.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The work as a detention guard involves handling and interacting with individuals who are deprived of their liberty. Many are deprived of liberty to investigate crimes, but it can also involve shorter detentions due to, for example, intoxication. As a detention guard, it is your job to receive these individuals and maintain the closest contact during their time of detention in the holding area.

Your main responsibilities as a detention guard include receiving and monitoring the individuals in the detention unit. You may also perform tasks such as DNA sampling, fingerprinting, urine testing, processing, record checks, documentation, photography, and incident reporting. You will also transport individuals to detention hearings. The pace of work varies and depends on how many individuals are detained. It can be physically demanding and requires you to be in good health. It also places high demands on professional conduct and an attitude characterized by respect for everyone's equal value. Detention monitoring is led by the station commander.

Additional tasks may arise as the influx of cases can vary greatly. This may include being part of the Police Authority's internal assignments. Tasks within the internal service of the authority may involve local service and participation in minor relocations and mail and goods handling. Work in our garage with basic cleaning and servicing of vehicles may also occur.

The work involves shift work and travel will be required.

In stressful situations, you can act calmly, controlled, and professionally. You apply a high level of safety awareness, meaning you are reliable in situations where physical violence may occur.
