Kriminalvården is looking for teachers for Lärcentrum

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 facilities, and client transport.

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 remand facilities, 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 coordinated and organized to ensure that studies function regardless of which facility a client arrives at and even if the client is transferred during their studies.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Clients in need of 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 work in three functions. You teach your students at the Färingsö and Svartsjö prisons in the Lärcentrum facilities, and you will also support students in the role of pedagogical supervisor for those who have their subject teacher remotely within the agency. In addition, you also teach students remotely who study at other prisons. This means that you will have continuous contact and collaborate with teachers and other colleagues across the country. All work is conducted 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 carried out both independently and in close collaboration with colleagues, which requires good teamwork and initiative.

We are looking for someone who has:

• A teaching degree and certification with subject qualifications in one or more of the following subjects: Business Economics, Natural Science, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry in combination with Mathematics (Please attach your teaching certification with qualification list in your application)
• The ability to express yourself well in Swedish, both orally and in writing
• Good computer skills and experience working digitally

It is advantageous to have:

• Experience in teaching within adult education/Komvux
• Experience in distance education

For us, it is important that you share Kriminalvården's fundamental values of 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.

Welcome with your application, including teaching certification with qualification list.
