Correctional Officer

The Correctional Officer is vital to the fulfillment of the mission of the Correctional Service of Canada. As the primary contact for offenders, the Correctional Officer works with offenders on a continuous basis. This gives the Correctional Officer in-depth knowledge of an offender's personality and behaviour, vital to maintaining the security of the institution. At the same time, this knowledge supports and assists in the case management process, and builds understanding and trust, essential to the successful reintegration of the offender into society.

Federal Correctional Officers are professionals. They possess a belief in the values of the organization, the flexibility and desire to work within a team, the ability to thrive in a demanding work environment and, most importantly, the motivation to work with offenders.

If you have a high school diploma and experience in dealing with people, a career with the Correctional Service of Canada may be the one for you.
