About the Swedish Prison and Probation Service

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.

Learning Centres is a national organization where the Section for Adult Education provides education for clients of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service. At every prison in the country and at certain remand prisons, there is one or more Learning Centres where teachers teach at basic and upper secondary levels, corresponding to municipal adult education, as well as education in Swedish for Immigrants. The adult education is nationally coordinated and organized so that studies function regardless of which facility a client arrives at and even if they are transferred during their studies.

Job Description

Clients who need education can apply and be referred to adult education. The teaching is individual-based and takes place at the remand prison's Learning Centre. You will support students and teachers, both practically and pedagogically, in the role of pedagogical supervisor. The teaching teacher may be located locally or remotely at another prison. This means that in your assignment, you will have continuous contact with and collaborate with teachers and other colleagues across the country.

Children and young people in remand prison, who are enrolled in a basic or upper secondary school in society, will receive help to establish contact with the relevant school to continue their studies – you are the link between the student and the school.

Qualifications

In your role as a pedagogical supervisor, you are a skilled educator with the willingness 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 is why good collaboration and initiative skills are important characteristics, as well as the ability to work independently.

For us, it is important that you share the Swedish Prison and Probation Service's fundamental values regarding a humane view of humanity, respect for the individual, and belief in a person's will and ability to develop. You are also aware of and understand how background, culture, and group affiliation affect yourself and others.
