Overseers are trade or vocationally qualified Correctional Officers with the essential role of supervising inmates in their work related activities within correctional centres. This will involve managing, coaching, instructing and encouraging inmates as members of a team in order to gain experience and qualifications.
Prior to employment at a correctional facility, Overseers must successfully complete a 10 week full-time Primary Training course that equips them with program delivery, weapons training and survival training.
