Kriminalvården is hiring teachers for Lärcentrum

Kriminalvården is growing – we are building new facilities, 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 transportation.

Lärcentrum is a national organization where the Adult Education section provides education for Kriminalvården's clients. At each prison in the country and at certain detention centers, there is one or more Lärcentrum where teachers instruct at basic and upper secondary levels, corresponding to municipal adult education, as well as Swedish language education for immigrants. The adult education is nationally cohesive and organized so that studies function regardless of which facility a client comes to and even if they are transferred during their studies.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Clients who need education can apply or be referred to apply for adult education. The teaching is individualized and takes place at Lärcentrum. As a teacher within Kriminalvården, you will work in three roles. You will teach your students at the Hinseberg prison in the Lärcentrum facilities, and you will also support students in the role of educational supervisor for those who have their subject teacher remotely within the authority. Additionally, you will teach students remotely who are studying at other prisons. This means that you will have continuous contact with and collaborate with teachers and other colleagues across the country. All work takes place at the prison.

QUALIFICATIONS

In your role as a teacher, you are a skilled educator with the will and ability to motivate, inspire, and lead students to achieve their goals. You are clear and engaged in your work and have a good ability to create structure and systematic approaches. The work is conducted both independently and in close collaboration with colleagues, which is why good teamwork and initiative skills are important qualities, as well as the ability to work independently.

For us, it is important that you share Kriminalvården's fundamental values regarding a humane view of humanity, respect for the individual, and belief in people's will and ability to develop. You are also aware of and understand how background, culture, and group affiliation affect yourself and others. Furthermore, you are expected to contribute to ensuring that everyone is treated equally through your approach. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

We are looking for someone who has:

• A teaching degree and certification with subject qualifications in one or more of the following subjects: Mathematics, Natural Science, Swedish as a Second Language, or Business Economics
• The ability to express yourself well in spoken and written Swedish
• Good computer skills and experience working with digital support systems

It is advantageous if you have:
