Correctional Officer - Maine State Prison, Warren.

.

A Correctional Officer at Maine State Prison is more than a job --- it’s a calling.

As a Corrections Professional, you will carry a responsibility that extends beyond duty --- it’s a commitment to service, integrity, and the protection of others.

In this role, you are entrusted by the public to protect the lives of those placed in your charge, safeguard the weak against oppression or intimidation, defend the peace against violence or disorder, and approach every interaction --- with residents, colleagues, superiors, and the public --- with honesty, fairness, and professionalism.

You will be expected to uphold confidentiality, exercise sound judgment, and demonstrate integrity, compassion, and self-restraint in all circumstances. Both in and out of uniform, your conduct will reflect the highest ideals of this profession.

If you are ready to Accept the Challenge and serve with dedication, respect, and honor, we invite you to read more and apply.

• At least 18-years-old.
• Possess a High School Diploma or equivalent (HiSET, GED, etc.).
• Valid driver's license.

There's a job and then there's purposeful, transformative work. Our aim is to create a workplace where you can learn, grow, and continuously refine your skills. Applicants demonstrate job requirements in differing ways, and we appreciate that many skills and backgrounds can make people successful in this role. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, Maine State Government embraces a culture of respect and awareness. We are committed to creating a strong sense of belonging for all team members, and our process ensures an inclusive environment to applicants of all backgrounds including diverse race, color, sex, sexual orientation or gender identity, physical or mental disability, religion, age, ancestry, national origin, familial status or genetics.

Research shows that people from historically excluded communities tend to apply for jobs only when they check every box in the posting.
