About the Swedish Prison and Probation Service

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service is growing – we are building new facilities, renovating, and expanding, and 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 centers, and client transport.

The Transport Division (TA) is tasked with transporting and supervising persons deprived of liberty. This involves moving the Service's clients between remand centers and prisons, to court hearings, hospitals, and more. TA also transports persons deprived of liberty for, for example, the Police, the National Board of Institutional Care (SiS), the Migration Agency, and psychiatry. Learn more here: https://www.kriminalvarden.se (https://www.kriminalvarden.se). We are looking for you who want to help shape the future of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service. You will contribute new perspectives and energy to a mission that is both important and meaningful. The Transport Safety Section is now seeking an experienced and development-oriented person to lead the work on several key development issues within the area of transport safety. As an employee of the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, in addition to state benefits, there are great opportunities for further development.

Interviews are expected to be conducted in week 34.

Job Description

The Swedish Prison and Probation Service's national transport operations are now looking for a Security Officer for the Transport Safety Section, based at the transport office in Härnösand or Gävle. As a Security Officer at the Transport Division, you report to a Group Manager who is your direct supervisor. In your daily work, you support prison inspectors at the transport office in leading and developing the section's operations towards established goals with a focus on security. You also provide transport planners and prison officers with advice regarding assessments in planning and operational security issues concerning the execution of transports. In addition, you may be responsible for one or more national assignments within the transport safety area, which involves some travel and occasional temporary work assignments at one of our other transport offices.

The work also involves preparing and presenting cases for the local management group and assisting them in operation-related reporting and analysis.
