Frontline
Rārangi whakamua
Working on the frontline at Corrections means working face to face with people who have offended. Whether in a prison or in the community, you will be aiming to engage and positively motivate some of New Zealand’s most difficult citizens.
Skills we look for
Here are some of the key skills and attributes that we look for in our whānau.
Why a career on the Frontline?
A great day for me is when an offender comes back into the unit buzzing because they've passed a course. Their thanks to me for encouraging them makes me proud.
