About the Swedish Prison and Probation Service (Kriminalvården)

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is growing – we are building new facilities, renovating, and expanding, and we are now looking for more employees. Our most important goal is to reduce recidivism – to break the vicious cycle. If we succeed, society will become safer and more secure for everyone. We are the agency responsible for prisons, probation, remand prisons, and client transport.

Job Description

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service's national transport operations are now looking for a Security Officer for the Transport Security Section, based at the transport office in Farsta. As a Security Officer at the Transport Division, you report to a group manager who is your immediate supervisor. In your daily work, you assist prison inspectors at the transport office in leading and developing the section's operations towards set goals with a focus on security. You also provide transport planners and probation officers with advice regarding assessments in planning and operational security issues concerning the execution of transport. In addition, you may be responsible for one or several national assignments within the field of transport security, which involves some travel and occasional temporary work assignments at some of our other transport offices.

The work is largely operational, where you collaborate with other security functions within the Transport Office and the rest of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, but you also work administratively with issues concerning security, standardization of routines, and the training area. Furthermore, the work involves preparing and presenting cases for the local management group and assisting them with operation-related reporting and analysis.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who works well with others but can also structure your own work approach to drive your processes forward. You are calm, stable, and controlled in stressful situations. In your work, you see the big picture and take the broader perspective into account, while also having the interest, willingness, and ability to help others and striving to deliver solutions.

For us, it is important that you share the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's fundamental values regarding a human view of humanity, respect for the individual, and belief in 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 through your attitude to ensuring that everyone is treated equally. We place great emphasis on personal suitability.

We are looking for you who have:

• Complete upper secondary education (high school diploma)
• Experience working in government service or the public sector
• Ability to express yourself well in speech and writing in Swedish.
• Valid driver's license (Category B)

The following are also meritorious:

• Experience working in the security field
• Experience working in a leading position within transport
• Experience from working within the various branches of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service with good references
