Working at Community Corrections

Why work at Community Corrections?

Choosing a role at Community Corrections can give you the opportunity to develop a meaningful career where you can positively change the lives of others and help to deliver a safer community.

Rewarding, challenging and varied career

A career with Community Corrections can bring great rewards. Each day is different, and you will have unique opportunities to work within a variety of teams.

You may work:

• supervising offenders on parole
• supporting offenders to complete their community service hours
• monitoring offenders subject to electronic monitoring
• delivering offender intervention programs
• in the court-mandated diversion program to support offenders to break the drug-crime cycle
• providing valuable and professional pre-sentence advice to the courts and Parole Board, or
• leading teams to deliver best practice offender services.

As a member of our team, you will work with committed government and community-based service providers to deliver offender services, which target offender risks and needs. Community Corrections aims to match the appropriate services and level of supervision to the right offender at the right time.

Working as a team

Deciding to work at Community Corrections will allow you to experience the opportunities of a close knit and collaborative organisation within the broader Department of Justice.

From day one, you will find opportunities to embrace being part of a team with like-minded people who are passionate about enhancing community safety by changing offending behaviour.

You will work in a diverse, collaborative and inclusive environment in one of our five office locations. The work delivered from each office is focussed on service delivery within that region, meaning that the work you do every day will make a meaningful contribution to your local community.

We provide a safe, secure, supported working environment so that new and experienced officers alike can achieve positive outcomes.

Changing lives

Our role at Community Corrections is to support people to make transformational change, one step at a time.

Individuals who successfully transition from the criminal justice system can go on and become agents of change for their families, their social groups and their broader community.

Being a part of the Community Corrections team means that you can help create a safer community for us all.
