What is a correctional monitor?

Correctional Monitors are professionals who oversee the activities and behavior of inmates in correctional facilities, such as prisons or jails. Their responsibilities include ensuring the safety and security of the facility, enforcing rules and regulations, monitoring inmate conduct, and reporting any incidents or violations. They may also assist with rehabilitation programs, conduct inspections, and coordinate with other staff members to maintain order. Correctional Monitors play a vital role in maintaining a secure and orderly environment within correctional institutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a correctional monitor?

To thrive as a Correctional Monitor, you need a solid understanding of correctional facility procedures, security protocols, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with surveillance systems, incident reporting software, and communication devices is typically required. Strong observation skills, conflict resolution abilities, and professionalism help you maintain order and build rapport with inmates and staff. These skills are crucial for ensuring facility safety, effective supervision, and compliance with regulations.

What are some common challenges faced by correctional monitors, and how can they be effectively managed?

Correctional Monitors often encounter challenges such as maintaining safety and security while fostering a positive environment for rehabilitation. They may deal with difficult inmate behaviors, high-stress situations, and the need to enforce rules consistently. Effective management involves strong communication skills, adherence to established protocols, and ongoing training in de-escalation techniques. Building rapport with inmates and collaborating closely with other correctional staff helps create a safer, more supportive environment for both staff and residents.

Job description

Transport & Monitoring Specialist (Part-Time)
Flexible Hoursโ€ข Work Independentlyโ€ข Make a Difference
Starting Wage: $20.00/hour
Part-Time Approximately 10-20 Hours per Week
Mileage & Cell Phone Reimbursement Pension 403(b)
Looking for a part-time position that gets you out from behind a desk?
ATTIC Correctional Services is seeking dependable, self-motivated professionals to join our Supervised Release Program as a Transport & Monitoring Specialist (TMS). In this role, you'll help support individuals returning to the community after incarceration by providing transportation, conducting monitoring visits, and helping ensure compliance with program requirements.
If you enjoy working independently, managing your own day, and making a positive impact in your community, we'd like to hear from you.
This Position Is Different Than Most Jobs
Before applying, it's important to understand how this position works:
There is no office to report to each day.
Your work takes place throughout your assigned service area rather than from a central office.
You will use your own reliable vehicle.
You'll travel throughout your assigned area using your personal vehicle. Mileage is reimbursed, and business use of your personal cell phone is also reimbursed.
Your schedule varies.
This is not a traditional Monday-Friday, 8-to-5 position. Assignments are based on client needs and may occur during weekdays, with occasional evenings and weekends. Most employees average 10-20 hours per week, though hours vary.
If you're looking for predictable daily shifts in one location, this probably isn't the right fit. If you're looking for flexibility and independence, it may be exactly what you're looking for.
What You'll Do
As a Transport & Monitoring Specialist, you will:
  • Transport clients to approved appointments and activities
  • Conduct monitoring visits at supervised residences
  • Observe client behavior and ensure compliance with program requirements
  • Complete electronic reports and monitoring documentation
  • Perform residence safety and security checks
  • Report violations and concerns to supervisors and state partners
  • Provide appropriate guidance regarding daily living and independent living skills
  • Communicate professionally with clients while maintaining clear professional boundaries

Every day is different, and no two assignments are exactly alike.
We're Looking For Someone Who Is
  • Dependable and self-motivated
  • Comfortable working independently without direct supervision
  • Organized and detail-oriented
  • Professional, calm, and confident when working with diverse populations
  • Able to make sound decisions and document information accurately
  • Comfortable using smartphone apps for scheduling, reporting, and timekeeping

Qualifications
Required
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Valid driver's license
  • Good driving record
  • Reliable personal vehicle
  • Proof of automobile insurance
  • Smartphone with the ability to use scheduling and reporting applications
  • Ability to travel frequently throughout your assigned service area
  • Ability to successfully complete a criminal background screening

Preferred
Education or experience in:
  • Criminal Justice
  • Corrections
  • Human or Social Services
  • Psychology or Sociology
  • Behavioral Health
  • Mental Health
  • Security or Law Enforcement

Experience working with individuals involved in the criminal justice system or other human service populations is strongly preferred.
Benefits
Part-time employees are eligible for:
  • $20.00/hour starting wage
  • Mileage reimbursement
  • Cell phone reimbursement
  • 403(b) Retirement Plan
  • Pension participation

Why ATTIC?
At ATTIC Correctional Services, our work directly supports safer communities by helping individuals successfully transition back into society. Our staff enjoy meaningful work, flexible schedules, independence, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact every day.
If you're looking for a flexible part-time position where every day is different and your work truly matters, we'd love to hear from you.
