Staffing Planner at the Swedish Migration Agency

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

We are looking for staffing planners for the detention centers in Ljungbyhed and Åstorp, located in Åstorp.

In a detention unit, individuals who have received a deportation or expulsion decision are placed, and who need to be available for enforcement. A person can also be detained if their right to stay in the country or their identity needs to be investigated. The detention center is a closed unit and operates around the clock.

What does a staffing planner do?

As a staffing planner, you provide support for the detention centers in Åstorp and Ljungbyhed regarding personnel matters. You work independently with staffing planning both in the short and long term and serve as a support for the unit's staff. You ensure that schedules and staffing are in accordance with the Migration Agency's applicable collective agreements.

The work involves a lot of contact and collaboration with other employees both in your own and other units at the Migration Agency as well as the State Service Center.

Who are you?

We are looking for someone with good collaboration skills, who is attentive and resolves any conflicts constructively. You are service-oriented and accommodating in your interactions, making an effort to find solutions. Furthermore, you are flexible and can easily adapt and change your perspective and approach when circumstances change.

You are also structured and can independently plan and organize work effectively towards set goals and deadlines. You think strategically and consider the long-term significance and further consequences of matters and adjust your actions accordingly.

In our work as civil servants, high demands are also placed on judgment and a high awareness of security and confidentiality.

• High school education or equivalent knowledge acquired in other ways
