ABOUT THE ROLE

Correctional Officers contribute to community safety and assist offenders in finding paths for improvement in their lives. They supervise inmates in correctional facilities, including prisons and court cells throughout New South Wales.
To support a broad range of people in custody, our workforce needs to be equally diverse. We encourage applications from women and Aboriginal Peoples who would like to join our inclusive organisation.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Correctional Officers work within a supportive team environment on a 24/7 rotating roster system where no two shifts are the same.
They are required to interact with inmates and ensure the safety and security of the facility by undertaking searches, monitoring behaviours, and communicating effectively.
