Advanced Practitioner - South Outer

at  Corrections Victoria

• Earn $92,332 - $104,762 per year (plus super) with guaranteed yearly increases.
  Community Correctional Services (CCS) is a state-wide service that manages offenders on court orders, serious sex offenders on post sentence supervision and prisoners on parole.
  Evidence suggests that people who re-integrate into the community following a period of imprisonment require transitional support in order to reduce their risk of reoffending.
  Why we love this work
  When a person’s risk profile allows it, community-based rehabilitation is more effective at addressing offending behaviour than time in custody.
  In your work, you will hear another person’s story. You will come to understand their world view. And you will hold them accountable for their decisions. You will be part of giving offenders a second chance to make a more positive contribution to the community.
  Your job won’t always be easy, but with a strong work ethic and a belief in what you’re doing, you will be able to take pride in your work and will know what it’s like to make a genuine difference in someone else’s life.
