Careers and volunteer opportunities in correctional services are diverse and exciting, and we take pride in making a difference in the lives of those under our custody and supervision, as well as protecting the safety of our communities.

Make a difference by becoming a Social Worker

Social workers play an important role in the day-to-day operations of correctional facilities. As a Social Worker or Classification Counsellor, they use their skills to complete a variety of assessments to address the often-complex needs of the offenders in custody.

Through effective communication, they can develop and maintain appropriate relationships with clients and work effectively within an interdisciplinary team model. Social workers are called upon to provide counselling and often facilitate rehabilitative group programs.

As case managers, social workers use their knowledge of systems to provide discharge planning with clients and assist with their successful reintegration into the community. The starting salary for a Social Worker is $1575.54 per week, with salary progression according to the OPSEU Collective Agreement.
