Are you looking to start a new career? Join us at an Information Evening and discover more about our mahi
By being great role models and looking for ways to engage positively, Corrections Officers have the opportunity to change the lives of Offenders and their families. Through teamwork and communication they work collaboratively to achieve the Departments purpose.
From security officers to office administrators, retail assistants, hospitality staff, builders, electricians, sports coaches, teachers, nurses, ex defence force and long haul drivers to name but a few of the professions our Corrections & Probation Officers have come from, we look for a wide range of backgrounds that bring a diverse skill set with them. This career path suits those wanting to put their skills to good use while assisting their community and the people within it.
We will have both Corrections Officers, and other Prison staff available from Rimutaka Prison present. They will be available to give you information about what a Frontline career with Ara Poutama Aotearoa looks like, answer the questions you have and walk you through our recruitment process.
**When: Thursday 16**th** October 2025, 6pm to 8pm.**
**Where: Te Rauparaha Areana, 17 Parumoana Street, Porirua. Level 1 Meeting Room**
**_Please note: This event begins at 6pm - starting as a presentation from staff to those attending. After presenting to the group, we break into an informal 'Kai & Korero' style where people can choose to head home or come and chat to staff available._
