A recruitment drive has been launched to find 25 new corrections officers, Michael Weeks, the Minister of National Security, announced.

Successful applicants will be required to undergo a 12-week introductory training course that involves learning about the management of inmates, relevant procedures and legislation.

Mr Weeks said: "If you desire a challenging but rewarding career that can lead to professional development and community appreciation, then I encourage you to apply to become a corrections officer.

"Corrections officers are responsible for ensuring the public's safety by supervising and monitoring inmates, enforcing rules and empowering inmates to become responsible and positive citizens upon their re-entry to society.

"Corrections officers have the opportunity to work in various settings and gain valuable experience in the criminal justice system.

“The job also provides a chance to serve the community at a higher level.”

People wishing to apply can do so until May 17 via the government careers website. For more information, e-mail doc@gov.bm.
