Vacant job

We are looking for a Detention Supervisor for the detention center in Mölndal for permanent employment and hourly temporary positions. At a defense unit, people who have received a rejection or deportation order and need to be available for enforcement are placed. A person can also be taken into custody if the right to stay in the country or identity needs to be investigated. Those taken into custody are deprived of their liberty and the operations are conducted around the clock. The work is based on current legislation where legal certainty, dignity, and security are important.

What does a Detention Supervisor do?

The role includes work with, among other things, service, surveillance, search, security, and motivating those in custody to follow decisions to leave the country. You conduct conversations during, for example, check-in and check-out, as well as to inform about decisions. You identify and handle any special needs among those in custody and lead activities for them. Furthermore, you ensure a calm, secure, and safe environment at the detention center through motivational conversations, conflict management, and carrying out, among other things, security checks and searches. Participation in transports, responsibility for food handling, and some administration are also part of the position. You can read more about the role here.

Who are you?

We are looking for you who enjoy working in a group and have good cooperation skills, are receptive, and solve conflicts in a constructive way. You have good self-awareness and can distinguish between the personal and professional. Since the operations are dynamic, you need to be secure and stable even in stressful or pressured situations, maintain a realistic perspective, and focus on the right things. You need to have the physical and mental prerequisites to handle an environment where conflicts involving threats and violence may occur. You thrive with variation and easily adapt and change your viewpoint and approach when circumstances change.

In our work as civil servants, high demands are also placed on judgment and a high level of security and confidentiality awareness. It is important that you act in accordance with decisions made, the operational plan, goals, policies, and guidelines. We place great emphasis on personal suitability and recruit based on merit and skill.

• Upper secondary education or equivalent knowledge acquired in other ways
