Nga kawenga | About the role
We have a duty of care to all those in our custody. Everyday life brings different challenges and there will be times when the people in our care require more specialist medical intervention outside of our facility, from accident and injury to serious illness and palliative care.
We seek committed individuals to undertake hospital guard duties on an "as and when required" basis – usually at short notice, day or night. Your main focus will be the close supervision and security of individual prisoners while inside a hospital facility. While on duty you will be working alongside a Corrections Officer.
This is a critical role as it allows us the comfort of knowing the safety and security of the community is in capable hands while we focus on operational requirements back in the prison environment.
As part of our recruitment process you will be required to complete a full disclosure criminal history check and undergo a pre-employment drug test. Full induction and training will be provided.
The people we are looking for will ideally have experience from within other agencies including Police, Defence, Corrections, Security (or similar) to be a successful Hospital Guard. In addition, we are looking for people with the following attributes:
Clear and concise communication skills
A calm and measured approach, even in a pressured situation
Strong affinity to adhering to policies and procedures while also maintaining protocols
The ability to work as a team member as well as independently as required
Take an objective, non-judgemental approach to prisoners, demonstrating a degree of empathy in upholding rules and regulations
Hold a current full NZ drivers licence
Have the legal working rights to work in NZ, without restriction, for a minimum of 12 months
Working on a casual basis, the successful applicant will possess a flexibility to be available at very short notice. Some travel may be required, for example if a prisoner is transferred to Wellington Hospital. Travel and expenses will be covered in keeping with policy.
The hourly rate for this casual position is $32.46 per hour.
To apply, please submit a tailored CV and a cover letter describing your motivation for joining the department highlighting relevant skills and experience. Alignment to our kaupapa is critical to our success - we ask that you provide examples which reflect and demonstrate our organisation values.
Applications close on Wednesday 27th of November.
It is an exciting time to join us and we continue to seek out talented individuals who are committed to an inclusive, vibrant workplace. We recognise and celebrate the uniqueness of individuals, and that of the collective talent in our whanau. All applications must be submitted through our careers site to ensure transparency. Applications received via email will not be considered.
