Title: Trainee Correctional Officer (upon successful completion of training a Correctional Officer Grade 1)

Do you have what it takes to be a Correctional Officer? Do you have life experience and an interest in community safety? Do you like working in a team and have exceptional communication skills? Are you resilient when faced with challenging situations and environments? Do you have the maturity to be assertive whilst remaining level-headed, non-judgemental, fair and respectful? If so, this may be the role for you

ACT Corrective Services are seeking suitable applicants to fill several Correctional Officer positions within their Court Transport Unit.

Successful applicants will be required to complete a 12-week Correctional Recruit Training (CRT) course in the first instance and will receive a training salary of $50,817 per annum for this period. The CRT will provide you with all the relevant training to be a competent and accomplished Correctional Officer. This includes everything from legislations and policies, to report writing and dealing with challenging behaviours. Following the successful completion of this training, you will automatically become a Correctional Officer Grade 1 earning a salary range between $69,433 and $82,797 per annum, plus superannuation. You will also be supported to complete a fully funded, nationally recognised Certificate III in Correctional Practice within the first 12 months of your employment. The Court Transport Unit operates Monday to Friday and staff are required to work eight-hour shifts.

ACT Corrective Services (ACTCS) will be hosting an information session for people interested in learning more about these opportunities. Senior ACTCS staff will team up with current Correctional Officers to describe what it is like to work in a correctional environment. You will also have the chance to find out more about the opportunities for women, young people and people from diverse backgrounds, as well as details about the required training. (Please note, attendance at the information session is not mandatory).

The information session will be held at the Eastlake, Gungahlin, on 8 March 2023 at 6:30pm. To attend this information session, please register here.
