Community Correctional Officer

Are you interested in joining a team of Community Correctional Officers where you get to make an impact on people’s lives while focusing on public safety? Come join our team at Bethel Work Release Center.

The Bethel Work Release Center is a private non-profit facility that houses both male and female offenders who are re-entering society, awaiting sentencing, or serving a prison/jail sentence. Our facility focuses on public safety while helping people to reintegrate into society by assisting them in navigating their return to the community.

As a Community Correctional Officer, you will learn how the federal pre-trial system works, work with individuals under the supervision of the Department of Corrections, and those on supervision with Arrowhead Regional Corrections.

A shift includes safety and security checks, signing residents in and out of the facility, room and vehicle searches, observed urine collection for drug testing, medication dispensing, writing incident reports, and escorting residents to meals and recreation.

Desirable candidates are reliable, flexible, eager to learn, work well with others, leaders, take constructive feedback well, eager to grow as individuals while learning new skills, and want to make a difference.

This position is entry-level, and no experience is needed; however, this position is also great for someone who has experience in the field and would like to continue making a difference

There has never been a staff assault at the facility, and there is a zero-tolerance policy for any threatening behavior.

Employment with Bethel Work Release Center qualifies for the Federal Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness Program. We offer paid internships and are flexible with scheduling.

You must be at least 18 years old with either a high school diploma or equivalent. A background check is required for employment.
