Who are we?
Community Work and Partnerships is one of four service delivery streams within Community Correctional Services (CCS) of the Department of Justice and Community Safety. We are responsible for the development of mutually beneficial partnerships with government agencies and non-government organisations so that offenders can undertake unpaid work as part of their community-based sentence imposed by the Courts of Victoria. Community work serves as a valuable way for offenders to pay back the community while also reconnecting and reintegrating into the community.
What does a Leading Field Officer do?
The Leading Field Officer carries out the duties and functions of a field officer including the supervision of offenders completing community work tasks. The Leading Field Officer is required to coach new Field Officers and induct them to the role. Co-supervision of field officers in conjunction with a senior officer may be required.

- maintaining a tools and equipment register and ensuring repairs
- producing monthly stock reports and other written reports relevant to the work undertaken.
The Leading Field Officer represents the Department in a professional and ethical manner at all times and promotes the rehabilitative benefits of community work programs to offenders to enhance community safety. In this role, you may liaise with community work partners on the operation of the program, working with the Regional Community Work Program Manager on new partner and project development. The role models appropriate behaviour to other staff and to offenders.
