ACT Corrective Services (ACTCS) is looking for highly motivated, values-driven professionals to join Community Operations as a Community Corrections Officer (CCO) Administrative Services Officer Class 6.

A career as a CCO is unlike any other in the public service and is challenging and genuinely rewarding. In collaboration with offenders, you will be required to assess, develop, implement and monitor case management plans that aim to reduce the potential for reoffending. As a CCO you will be required to provide written and verbal reports to the Courts and releasing authorities in relation to offender management, risk assessment and intervention.

A capacity to meet critical deadlines is essential. Whilst experience in working with offenders and relevant tertiary qualifications are highly desirable, as is case management experience, we are interested in hearing from people from a variety of backgrounds.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.
