Who are we?
Community Work and Partnerships is one of four service delivery streams within Community Correctional Services (CCS). 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.

Your primary responsibility as a Field Officer will be to supervise a team of offenders at community work sites and other community work programs. As a key role model in your work, you will represent the Department in a professional and ethical manner at all times and promote the rehabilitative benefits of community work programs to offenders to enhance community safety.
