Region Stockholm

Region Stockholm encompasses all probation services in Stockholm County. The regional office's task is to lead, plan, and provide operational support and coordination for the areas of work related to executing sentences, conducting remand operations, and performing personal investigations in criminal cases. The regional office must implement and ensure the execution of the national assignments given in the operational plan and follow up to ensure that established goals and results are achieved. To support the regional manager's leadership and management of the areas of work, there are section managers, several operational experts, three group leaders, as well as administrative functions and reception.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a regional operational expert, you will be part of a team of experts in prison, remand, probation, capacity/operational analysis, and health care. The region's operational experts support the regional and section managers as well as the region's prison managers.

You will be tasked with supporting the section manager in matters concerning planning, implementation, and follow-up of the region's operational plan. Many of the processes driven by the regional office involve several different expert functions, both within your own group and at the head office of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service. While other operational experts shift between operational and strategic tasks, your role will be more long-term and strategically oriented. You will coordinate the overarching and strategic processes and, if necessary, strengthen within one of the expert areas. The role may also involve substituting for the section manager during short absences. Your daily work will be filled with meetings at national, regional, and local levels; you will engage in discussions and dialogue, inform, plan, analyze, follow up, and ensure that the work with the operational plan is on the right track and at the right pace.

The work requires close collaboration with other operational experts and support staff in the region, as well as in other regions and at the head office, and with managers in the region.

Travel is included in the position, both within the region and nationally.

The position is based in Liljeholmen, Stockholm.

QUALIFICATIONS

The position requires a very good analytical ability regarding complex issues and processes. The ability to see the whole picture and understand connections in the operations is a requirement. You are flexible and can easily adapt to changing demands and circumstances. You are stable and secure even in stressful situations and have the ability to focus on the right things. The role also requires that you are goal- and results-oriented and take initiative. You have excellent collaboration skills. You should also be communicative and able to inform clearly as well as listen to new ideas. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

We are looking for someone who has:

• A degree or equivalent knowledge through education combined with experience
• Leadership experience as a manager, project leader, or change leader
• Very good knowledge of the Swedish language in both spoken and written form

Experience in the following is meritorious:

• Working at more than one level within the Swedish Prison and Probation Service (national, regional, local)
• Several years of experience in operational planning and operational follow-up from a strategic perspective
• Process-oriented working methods

For us, it is important that you share the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's fundamental values of a humane view of humanity, respect for the individual, and belief in the human 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 with your approach. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

Interviews will be conducted in Liljeholmen on April 28, possibly also on April 24.
