Correctional Officer

Summary

Correctional Officer Opportunity

A career as a Correctional Officer is about more than security. It's about public safety, teamwork, communication, accountability and helping people move forward.

Our Correctional Officers combine security responsibilities with the human side of corrections – building professional relationships, communicating with justice-involved individuals, managing challenging situations and helping maintain a safe, secure and respectful environment.

It's challenging work. It's meaningful work. And it's work that makes a difference every day.

NO EXPERIENCE? NO PROBLEM.

You don't need previous correctional experience to apply. If you're motivated to serve your community and ready to take on a challenge, we'll provide the training, tools and support you need to succeed.

We're looking for people who are dependable, professional, team-oriented and able to treat others with compassion and respect – even in difficult situations.

If that sounds like you, we'll help you build the skills to become a successful Correctional Officer.
