If you're passionate about rehabilitation but prefer a community-based role over a custodial environment, this could be the career for you.

CCS manages individuals on court orders, parole, and post-sentence supervision across Victoria. Evidence shows that, where appropriate, community-based rehabilitation is more effective than custody in reducing reoffending — and you'll play a key role in making that happen.

• Deliver targeted interventions
• Address underlying causes of offending
• Support clients to meet court conditions
• Promote rehabilitation while maintaining community safety

You'll work with people from diverse and often complex backgrounds, holding them accountable while supporting positive behavioural change.

What's in it for you

• Competitive salary and generous leave
• Comprehensive training at commencement and throughout your career
• Clear performance and progression pathways
• Secondment and promotion opportunities
• Employee wellbeing support
• Corporate discounts and salary packaging options

What we're looking for

• Experience or understanding of case management practice
• Strong communication skills and confidence managing challenging behaviours
• Ability to model pro-social behaviour
• Commitment to rehabilitation and community safety
• Tertiary qualification in Criminology, Social Work or a related field (desirable)
