Kriminalvården is hiring Transport Planner/Administrator

Kriminalvården is growing – we are building new, 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.

The Transport Department (TA) is tasked with transporting and supervising deprived of liberty individuals. These are Kriminalvården's clients who are moved between detention centers and prisons, to court hearings, and hospitals, among other places. TA also transports deprived individuals for entities such as the Police, the National Board of Institutional Care, the Migration Agency, and psychiatry.

Location: Arvidsjaur or Solna. Please note that this position is the same as advertised in the announcement.

Interviews will be conducted in person in Arvidsjaur or Solna on Thursday, March 12.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The planning operations in Arvidsjaur are organized into two workgroups, one for domestic and one for international transports. Within each workgroup, the transport planner is responsible for planning transports based on established requirements for security, efficiency, service level, and good resource management.

You will plan and coordinate transports using various means of transport to meet our partners in service level agreements. In the role of Transport Planner/Administrator, you will have operational responsibility equivalent to the duty officer at a detention center or prison. This requires you to have a good overall perspective, make well-founded decisions, and be confident in your decision-making.

An important part of your work is to continuously collaborate with planning groups as the work is conducted at a national level and to lead transport personnel who carry out transports nationally and internationally. The planning work consists of recurring contact internally within Kriminalvården but also with clients outside our organization such as the Police, Migration Agency, National Board of Institutional Care, and Sweden's municipalities and regions, which places high demands on building trust in the authority.

In your work, you will plan according to applicable legislation, regulations, and governing documents and have a cost responsibility that means you should manage state funds in your planning.

QUALIFICATIONS

The work as an administrator is a service and quality assurance function that requires you to be meticulous, able to work both independently and in close collaboration with others within the section and unit, as well as with other stakeholders inside and outside the authority. You work well with other people. You are calm, attentive, and accommodating in your interactions. You make correct assessments and priorities and are self-driven. You adapt easily to changing circumstances. You take initiative, start activities, and achieve results. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

We are looking for someone who has:

  • Complete upper secondary education in the form of a diploma or equivalent education combined with work experience that Kriminalvården assesses as equivalent.
  • Relevant work experience, part-time employment, or self-employment. Internships and volunteer work are not considered equivalent to employment.
  • Good knowledge of the Swedish language in both spoken and written form.
  • Good knowledge of the English language in both spoken and written form, at least CEFR B2. A written test will be conducted during the interview, and parts of the interview will be conducted in English.
  • Good computer skills.

It is advantageous if you have:

  • Proficiency in additional languages besides those mentioned above.
  • Logistics education or proven previous experience in logistics work at the planning or management level.
  • Experience in the aviation or travel industry at an administrative level or operationally at a higher level than clearance personnel.
  • Experience from the correctional system, security work, military work, police work, social care, health care, and psychiatry.
  • Served, worked, or studied abroad.
  • Experience working with people in difficult life situations.
  • Knowledge in relevant areas at the university level.
