About Us

The Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety (CPPS) is responsible for overseeing Saskatchewan's correctional system and facilities, providing the safe and secure custody of adult and youth offenders, and delivering programs that promote safety and reduce re-offending.

As corrections professionals, our Vision is to provide correctional services that improve lives. Our Mission is to deliver programs and services to help ensure safe communities, safe facilities, and a safe and engaged workforce. We believe our core Values provide the foundation for who we are and what we do. We value modelling respect and integrity, serving citizens, practicing excellence and innovation, while acting as one team.

Why a Career as a Correctional Officer is Rewarding:

  • Directly contribute to creating safer communities in Saskatchewan;
  • Aid in positive and meaningful change for adult offenders;
  • Collaborate with a supportive interdisciplinary team of professionals to deliver needs-based services that facilitate rehabilitation; and
  • Engage in meaningful relationships that improve the ability of adult offenders to successfully reintegrate into their community and reduce re-offending.

The Opportunity

Pine Grove Correctional Centre is hiring and invites you to join our team!

Correctional Officers are professionals who work directly with adult offenders, holding them accountable and supporting positive change in their lives, while maintaining the safe and secure operation of the facility.

As a Correctional Officer, you will:

  • Be responsible for the safety and security of the facility through monitoring, supervising, and interacting with offenders in various correctional settings;
  • Work collaboratively in the creation and implementation of case plans for reintegration into the community.
  • Lead offenders in daily programming and promote personal development in decision-making and problem-solving skills;
  • Work closely with adults who may have intergenerational trauma, special needs, gender differences, and various cultural and spiritual beliefs;
  • Accurately interpret and apply legislation, policy, and procedures;
  • Apply a collaborative approach that promotes interdisciplinary teamwork;
  • Continuously assess situational factors, and evaluate the level of risk, to make sound and appropriate decisions; and
  • Prevent, respond to, and resolve incidents, using the safest and most reasonable intervention strategies.

Ideal Candidate

As our successful candidate, you will have:

  • Knowledge of the criminal justice system;
  • Knowledge of human behaviour to support positive change;
  • A valid Saskatchewan-issued Class 5 Driver’s License or equivalent;
  • A valid First Aid and CPR/AED certificate with no less than 12 months remaining before expiration is required prior to the ITP start date;
  • The ability to verbally and in writing, present clear, concise, timely, and accurate information;
  • Critical thinking skills to exercise sound judgment, solve problems, and apply appropriate interventions;
  • Strong organizational, analytical, and time management skills;
  • The ability to be a collaborative and supportive team player;
  • An inclusive, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive approach;
  • The ability to be adaptable and resilient in times of change, uncertainty, and stress; and
  • Proficiency with various computer systems, software, and programs.

Typically, the competencies required for this position would be obtained through a university degree in the Social Sciences or closely related discipline, a diploma in Law Enforcement, and/or an equivalent combination of education, training, and experience.
