Prison Officer looking to join Prison/Corrections in New Zealand
 

Hi there I was wondering if anyone could give me advice?

I currently work for the Scottish Prison Service, a role that i thoroughly enjoy, however I am hoping at some point in the future to relocate possibly to New Zealand and work within the Prison Service there.

Does anyone know how I would go about this? Or if there are available opportunities to apply through a form of exchange programme?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Google Department of Corrections New Zealand. There is also a government website for all NZ government vacancies: jobs.govt.nz

There's a BE poster called JustCol who recently started work in the NZ prison service after re-training from his original job. (No, not as a safe cracker !)

I worked at Waikeria for a couple of years ... not really my cup of tea.

There has been a couple of positions recently on trademe.co..nz....one at Waikeria and another at Springhill, both in Waikato, look under the trade and services tab, and the same as Robbie2010 not the most enjoyable of places.....but guess they are not supposed to be!!!
