Correctional Officer I (Northern State Correctional Facility) Job Details | State of Vermont

Training

If hired, applicants will “shadow” for a minimum of 40 hours at the facility. They will then attend a six-week paid academy. Once they have graduated, they will return to the facility for two weeks of OJT (on the job training) with an assigned Facility Training Officer. After that two-week period, the cadet becomes a probationary officer. The probationary period lasts a minimum of six months.

The Start date for this position is based on your availability. Positions vary and we run on a 2-shift schedule, 0600-1800 and 1800-0600. 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, Northern State 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 NSCF 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, you’ll have more time for yourself and your loved ones or relaxation or travel.

Resumes will not be accepted via e-mail. You must apply online to be considered.

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.

Overtime work is required to maintain safe staffing levels and is considered a condition of employment. The ability to work overtime as required is considered an essential function of this job class. Additionally, work on weekends and holidays may be required. Must attend and pass annual mandated training.

You work seven out of every 14 days; 12-hour shifts

Two-week schedule rotation!

· Enjoy a better Work-Life Balance: Employees can spend more time with family and recharge, leading to higher job satisfaction and performance.

FULL TIME BENEFITS INCLUDE:

• $2,000.00 annual training pay.
