Justice

Location:

PICTOU COUNTY

Type of Employment:
Permanent

Union Status:
NSGEU - NSPG

Closing Date:5/29/2023 (Applications are accepted until 11:59 PM Atlantic Time)

About Us:


The Correctional Services Division of the NS Department of Justice is responsible for the administration and operation of community and custody-based programs and services for adults and young persons.

Within the Correctional Services core business area there are two programs:
Community Corrections & correctional facilities.

Each of these program areas is broken down into closely related activities that have a specific impact on the program's target group.


Community Corrections has 22 offices across the province from Yarmouth to Sydney and is responsible for the supervision of both adult and young persons serving community-based sentences.

The sentences include probation, conditional sentence, custody and supervision, conditional supervision and Intensive Rehabilitative Custody and Supervision.

Probation Officers also supervise those released from custody on conditional releases and prepare pre-sentence investigations to assist the Courts in the sentencing process.

Evidence-based Program facilitation and supports to specialized courts in areas of domestic violence, mental health and wellness are also part of the role of a Probation Officer, as well as Restorative Justice casework and collaboration with community justice agencies.


Four (4) adult correctional facilities and one (1) youth centre provide the safety and security of persons in custody while providing programs that address dynamic criminogenic factors to assist with their successful reintegration back into the community.

Correctional Services utilizes an evidence-based approach in both Community Corrections and custodial facilities. Core Correctional Practices (CCP) is the foundational practice that drives reintegration and rehabilitation practices deployed within Correctional Services. Utilizing CCP, Correctional Services staff can effectively interact, manage behaviour, and help facilitate change within target populations.

In this role, you will have regular and ongoing interaction with persons in custody, while encouraging restorative and pro-social behaviour.

Additionally, you will be responsible for administrative functions related to the case management database (JEIN), the Behavioural Management System for persons in custody and incident reporting.


Correctional Officers work with a diverse population and are accountable for promoting and adhering to policy and procedures, standard operating procedures, post orders and directives.
