Overview

Corrections professionals in Vermont work in a system that believes in

the basics of human change. Intensive training prepares entry level Correctional Officers for a career that blends security work, human services and leadership opportunities. This work is rewarding on many levels and draws on a wide range of skills. Many of our permanent positions are filled by promoting temporary employees, so external candidates are encouraged to apply to both temporary and permanent job openings.

Training

The start of your career in Corrections begins with a week at the

correctional facility observing the duties and role of a correctional officer. Then, the next six weeks of instruction are at the[Vermont Correctional Academy]( where you will learn the core skill set of a corrections professional. After graduation, you will participate in eighty hours of onsite training supervised by staff at your new facility.

The Start date for this position is based on your availability.

Positions vary and we run on a 2-shift schedule, 6am - 6pm and 6pm - 6am. Shifts and schedules are assigned by seniority first and may be determined by facility needs. \ To the many benefits available through employment with the State of Vermont, Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility would like to introduce the innovative 2-2-3 schedule to provide staff with a better work-life balance. \ In a 2-2-3 rotation, you work two consecutive days, followed by two days off, and then work three consecutive days before having another two days off. This rotation repeats, providing you with regular periods of rest while ensuring that CRCF has continuous coverage of operations. The 2-2-3 schedule offers predictable work hours, flexibility, and longer stretches of consecutive days off for you to rest and recharge and a 3-day weekend every other week.\ With our 2-2-3 schedule, you will:
  • Work just 7 out of every 14 days instead of 10 as in a traditional
schedule.
  • Enjoy regular two- or three-day periods off: Say goodbye to long
work stretches without a break.
  • Work a balanced day or night shift: We prioritize your well-being by
evenly distributing day and night shift.
  • Have predictable rotations: You can plan ahead with our clear
four-week rotation cycle, allowing you to easily organize your personal life.
  • Work fewer days per year: With only 180 workdays, youll have more
time for yourself and your loved ones or relaxation or travel.

All employees of the Agency of Human Services perform their respective

functions adhering to four key practices: customer service, holistic service, strength-based relationships and results orientation.
