About the Correctional Service
The Correctional Service is growing – we are building new facilities, renovating, and expanding, and we are now seeking more employees. Our most important goal is to reduce recidivism – to break the cycle of crime. When we succeed, society becomes safer and more secure for everyone. We are the authority responsible for prisons, probation services, detention facilities, and prisoner transport.
The Correctional Service's national HR department comprises approximately 400 employees. We are on an exciting development journey where you will become an important part in developing a newly established HR section that provides support to the Transport Department. Together with the HR Manager and three HR Experts, you will shape and develop employer support that meets the department's needs and, together with managers, realize the Correctional Service's employer policy.
You will be part of a team where we support each other and work together. We have many success factors. Some of them are that we are communicative, professional, unpretentious, care about each other, and enjoy our work. We strengthen and develop ourselves, both individually and as a group, through our shared work and collaborate across areas of expertise.
Job Description
As an HR Expert, you provide consultative and coaching support to the department's managers on HR-related matters with a particular focus on occupational environment. The role also involves working to maintain, clarify, and further develop the Correctional Service's strategies, policies, and processes in this area as well as the application of current legislation.
You participate in competence development initiatives for managers, conduct investigations and analyses for monitoring and decision-making support. The assignment involves both working on long-term initiatives for a sustainable work environment and providing short-term support in individual cases. The Correctional Service's occupational environment work is characterized by diversity, work satisfaction, equality, learning, and collaboration. In many ways, the environment within the Correctional Service is unique because it encompasses care, supervision, and security simultaneously, every day of the year and around the clock.
Within Operations-Related HR, we have national networks linked to our various focus areas, and you will therefore regularly collaborate with HR colleagues in the same role from the rest of the country.
