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.

Rosersberg Prison

Rosersberg Prison is located north of Stockholm and is a security class 2 prison. In addition to prison places, there are also a number of remand prison places. The workplace is characterized by a family-like environment where different professional groups work closely together. There are also good commuting opportunities within walking distance to the commuter train, as well as access to staff parking.

A major change process regarding renovation and preparations is currently underway. From July 1, 2026, Rosersberg Prison will receive children and young people under the age of 18 who are sentenced to imprisonment, on a special children's and youth unit. This replaces the previous closed youth care as a deprivation of liberty sanction for children and young people between 15-17 years old who commit serious crimes. The focus will be on creating safe environments that promote reintegration into society, with activities such as school, student health services, employment, and age-appropriate leisure activities. Furthermore, the child's rights during the execution of the sentence will be upheld in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Through client-centered work, we create a meaningful existence in an otherwise adult and security-focused environment.

We are now looking for a client case manager with a genuine interest in working with children and young people. Welcome to apply!

Job Description

As a client case manager, you play a central role under the supervision of a Prison and Probation Officer.

As a client case manager on the children's and youth unit, you collaborate with everyone who needs to have contact with our young clients, both internally and externally. You frequently cooperate with functions in other parts of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service as well as external partners such as social services, police, prosecutors, and non-governmental organizations, which gives you a dynamic and stimulating work environment.

To thrive and succeed in your assignment, 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 the belief that humans are capable of development.
