Ngā kawenga | About the role
Corrections Officers work inside our prisons and are responsible for ensuring the security and wellbeing of those in our care serving sentences or on remand. They induct people into their unit, help them to navigate life in prison, and supervise daily routines. By being prosocial role models, our Corrections Officers also play a significant part in creating change and making our communities safer.
With different prisons, the role of a Corrections Officer varies including tasks across specialised units, security levels and site-specific activities. Some of our Officers work in specialised areas such as drug and alcohol treatment units, youth units, Pasifika units, Maori and Tikanga focused units, Mothers and Babies units and Special Treatments units.
All new officers attend an intensive 10-week training programme to equip them with necessary skills, and the development pathway continues onsite throughout the first year on the job. Our Corrections Officers are all part of a wider custodial team, and there is plenty of support and guidance available.
We currently have opportunities available at our 3 prisons here based in Canterbury - Christchurch Men's Prison, Christchurch Women's Prison and Rolleston Prison.
