All information received in relation to accommodation will be kept confidential.
*NOTE : Your responses to the application questions and your résumé must demonstrate how you meet the essential EDUCATION and EXPERIENCE qualifications.

Lack of EXAMPLES and DETAILS may result in your application being rejected.
Please note that if you also apply to the internal selection process for Parole Officers (2021-PEN-IA-QUE-165781), posted simultaneously (2021-PEN-EA-QUE-165771), the assessment results will be used for both (2) selection processes. You will only be assessed once.
*The term “Aboriginal” is used within this job advertisement as it relates to the Employment Equity Act and other legislative frameworks. The term “Indigenous” is used, where feasible, in support of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Correctional Service of Canada is seeking interest from persons looking for an exciting and rewarding career as a Parole Officer. Parole Officers are essential to fulfilling the Correctional Service of Canada's (CSC) mission of contributing to public safety by actively encouraging and assisting offenders to become law-abiding citizens, while exercising reasonable, safe, secure, and humane control.
The Parole Officer’s responsibilities include guiding the progress of offenders through a progression from most restrictive to least restrictive controls and from institutions to community supervision. They ensure that legal and policy requirements for reintegration are met as well as manage the reintegration of offenders throughout their sentences while trying to maintain public safety. Furthermore, they are responsible for assessing, analyzing and recommending potential transfer and release suitability of offenders as well as observing and interpreting the behaviour of the offenders/parolees.
