Corrections Officers

POSITION SUMMARY:

The Marathon County Human Resources Department, in conjunction with the Marathon County Sheriff’s Office, is recruiting to fill current and future vacancies that may occur.
Corrections Officers are responsible for the safety and supervision of inmates at the Marathon County Adult Jail and Juvenile Detention Center operating 24 hours a day, seven days per week.

Employees work 12-hour shifts, on a 2on/2off, 3on/2off, 2on/3off shift schedule, allowing for every other weekend scheduled off as a 3-day weekend. Employees are never forced to work on their off days. This work schedule includes holidays. New hires will typically be assigned to the night shift, 6 p.m. until 6 a.m.

This is responsible work ensuring that secure, safe, and sanitary conditions exist in the daily operation of the County Adult or Juvenile Detention Facility. Corrections Officers must be capable of performing duties in all areas of the corrections facilities including floor, housing control, central control, booking, escort/transportation, and home monitoring assignments at any given time. Corrections Officers may also be required to provide assistance in the duties of Classification and Court Officers.

Work is performed in accordance with established policies and procedures. Employees will need to exercise some independent judgment when monitoring inmate behavior. Decisions are usually limited to interpretation of rules and an immediate supervisor is available for consultation. No supervision is exercised over other employees but may involve supervision of inmate work. Direct supervision is received from supervisors or higher-ranking officers. Work is reviewed by observance and inspection of compliance with established rules and procedures. Work may be performed on a rotating shift basis. Work involves an element of danger.

There are a number of additional benefits and opportunities including a 14-week paid training program, an additional 5 weeks of paid training for State certification requirements within the first year, special team assignments (including Dive and Crisis Negotiations Teams), and a team-driven approach that provides a work-family environment.
