Kriminalvården is hiring a Chef

Kriminalvården is growing – we are building new facilities, renovating, and expanding, and we are now looking for more employees. Our primary 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, remand centers, and client transport.

The Umeå area includes the closed prison Umeå, the open prison Sörbyn, and the remand center Umeå. We are undergoing significant capacity increases, and there is much happening in the area in terms of renovations and new constructions. The largest professional group is correctional officers, but we also have healthcare professionals, administrative staff, educators, production leaders, etc. At the Sörbyn prison, inmates are engaged in labor market training, learning centers, various treatment programs, or work in the kitchen, carpentry, crop production, textiles, etc. The Sörbyn prison is an agricultural facility with grain cultivation and animal husbandry. At the Umeå prison, inmates are engaged in wood/industry, kitchen, learning centers, and treatment programs. The Umeå prison and remand center are about a 10-minute walk from the nearest bus stop, and the Sörbyn prison can only be reached by car. Staff parking is available at all units.
