Today in New Zealand, more than 9,000 people will have lunch in a prison cell. This week, Corrections will manage around another 26,000 individuals serving a sentence in the community.

Corrections officers, probation officers, case managers, psychologists, instructors, nurses and programme facilitators are just a few of the many frontline staff who work with offenders in prison and the community, on a daily basis, to improve public safety and support offenders to turn their lives around.

Staff based at National Office and in the regions work behind the scenes to support our 24-hour frontline operations. There are programme designers and policy advisers, as well as people working in administration, legal, property, communications, human resources, finance and information technology.

Our careers website contains information about the benefits of working at Corrections as well as role profiles, job descriptions and frequently asked questions about some of our many frontline roles. It also includes a full job listing for all of the current frontline and National Office vacancies.
