Swedish Prison and Probation Service is looking for a Sub-Management Leader

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service 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 section for operational support and analysis is responsible for the development and management of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's client administrative systems for probation, detention, and prison. The systems should support client-related work, be functional and user-friendly, and meet the needs of internal and external actors for quality-assured information.

To fit into the role of Sub-Management Leader, we believe you have good leadership skills and in-depth knowledge within your sub-management area. As a Sub-Management Leader, you have overall responsibility for the sub-management area of prison and detention within the management object of the Execution of Sentences Register (KVR). The role involves leading, coordinating, and directing management work based on established goals, priorities, and operational needs on behalf of the management leader.

You represent the sub-management area in preparatory and decision-making forums and play a central role in creating structure, direction, and progress in management work.

You report to the management leader, actively participate in sub-management leader meetings, and contribute to a well-functioning collaboration between operations, IT, and other partners, both internally and externally. The role requires the ability to make decisions, work strategically, and exercise clear functional leadership.

The position is a pilot project for at least one year and is located at the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's headquarters in Norrköping within the national department for prison, detention, and probation, with the possibility of placement in Stockholm.
