Employees in the section are located at the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's headquarters in Norrköping or at one of the regional offices. For this position, you will need to be present in Norrköping periodically, but most of the work can be performed at regional offices in Malmö or Stockholm.
JOB RESPONSIBILITIES
The work is primarily conducted through the authority's regular operational processes, where information security and security protection are included as mandatory elements, which means you will be part of a team with extensive contacts with other operational areas within the authority. Your tasks include participating in the development and management of governing documents and processes, as well as further developing the authority's work in the area.
Your role includes providing ongoing support to the organization and conducting training in information security and security protection.
You will work on ensuring that personal data processing complies with applicable regulations, collaborating with the legal department on data protection issues, and providing support and advice to the operations.

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.
