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.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Your main task will be to work in our detention facility by receiving and managing individuals who are deprived of their liberty and being their closest contact during their time in the detention area. Many are deprived of liberty to investigate crimes, but it can also involve shorter detentions due to, for example, intoxication. You will also work with simpler investigative measures in the detention facility as well as other commonly occurring administrative tasks such as transcribing interrogations and other administrative tasks related to evidence management.

In addition to the above tasks, you may also perform other tasks within internal and external service as needed, such as working at the reception, evidence management, and taking reports. Work at another location within the county may occur.

The pace of work varies based on the tasks, and the work can be physically demanding, which requires you to be in good health.

QUALIFICATIONS

This is an opportunity for you who have:

• High school diploma or equivalent education, or education combined with work experience that the employer assesses as equivalent
• Work experience in working with and meeting people in vulnerable and/or problematic situations that the employer assesses as relevant.
• Driver's license B (for manual transmission vehicle)
• Good computer skills
• Good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both spoken and written
• Good understanding of the English language and the ability to express yourself well in English

It is an advantage for the position if you also have:

• Current work experience of having worked with individuals deprived of liberty, such as correctional services, detention guard, HVB/SIS homes, security guard, or other experience that the employer assesses as relevant
• At least 1 year of current work experience in working with and meeting people in vulnerable and/or problematic situations that the employer assesses as relevant.
• Experience in administrative tasks
• Basic understanding of legal terms acquired through education or work experience
• Other language skills besides Swedish or English that the employer assesses as relevant where you can use the language in your professional practice

Personal qualities

As a person, you are secure in yourself and act with maturity and integrity. In stressful situations, you can act calmly, controlled, and professionally. You apply a high level of security awareness, which means you are reliable in situations where physical violence may arise. As the pace of work fluctuates and tasks may vary, you need to have a flexible approach. Furthermore, you have good collaboration skills and relate to others in a responsive and smooth manner.

We will place great emphasis on personal qualities.
