Do you want a career making a difference in people's lives and contributing to the safety of your community but feel a custodial environment isn't for you? The Department of Justice and Community Safety are looking for people like you to join as a Case Manager with Community Correctional Services.
Community Correctional Services (CCS) is a state-wide service that manages individuals on court orders, people who have committed serious sex offences on post sentence supervision and prisoners on parole.
Evidence suggests that when a person's risk profile allows it, community-based rehabilitation is more effective at addressing offending behaviour than time in custody.
Based out of justice service centres across Victoria, our team of case managers take charge of the supervision and coordination of services for individuals subject to statutory court orders.

As a Case Manager, you will work closely with a diverse array of people. Our clients people who have made unfortunate decisions in challenging situations. Often, their actions have been incited by traumatic life experiences.

Your job won't always be easy, but with a strong work ethic and a belief in what you're doing, you will be able to take pride in your work and will know what it's like to make a genuine difference in someone else's life.
