Vacant job

At the Swedish Migration Agency, we work with one of the major societal issues of our time – migration. We are about 6,000 people here, and we have an unusually important job!

We are looking for a local security officer at the service unit in Gothenburg.

We offer an environment characterized by meeting people and varied tasks. You will be part of a government-wide resource regarding operational security issues for the Migration Agency's shared administrative premises, detention centers, and also for our collective housing within the geographical region.

The Service Unit North/West is a larger unit with about 19 employees and operations in several locations, where the North consists of the towns of Boden, Umeå, Sundsvall, and Härnösand. The West consists of the towns of Gothenburg, Mölndal, Vänersborg, and Halmstad. Together with the Migration Agency's Security Department, the service units provide expertise in several security areas.

What does a local security officer do?
As a local security officer, you will have coordination and follow-up responsibility for systematic fire protection work, access control, physical protection in premises (local protection), CCTV, surveillance and alarm management, risk analyses, security, crisis and evacuation planning, as well as card and access administration, of course in consultation with the operations as well as with other security officers in the unit and at other service units.

You act as an advisor and provide support to other units. To contribute to this, monitoring the environment with networking both within and outside the agency is required. You will also participate as a project member in the various projects that fall within the section's area of work.

You contribute to the improvement work by conducting analysis and follow-ups in all areas and planning measures together with other security officers in the unit, but also in the national network of security officers available at the Migration Agency's service units. You follow up and address any deficiencies based on inspection protocols in our shared premises. You are responsible for managing technical installations within the security area and for maintaining and developing routines within your area of responsibility.

You have good collaboration skills and relate to people in a responsive and smooth manner. You listen, communicate, and resolve conflicts constructively. Furthermore, you are calm, attentive, and accommodating in your interactions. You have an interest, willingness, and ability to help others and strive to deliver solutions.
