Job Requirements:
The Security Monitor shall have any combination of experience, emotional maturity, and communication skills which allows them to work in close proximity and supervise residential correctional clients. Applicants shall have at minimum a high school diploma and sufficient life experience to tolerate the literacy and emotional demands of correctional work; higher education preferable. Security Monitors commencing a career in the criminal justice industry are encouraged to seek a four-year degree in appropriate disciplines prior to hiring or while employed at NWRRC.
Supervision Provided:
Training and supervision shall be provided by the Security Supervisor. Refresher training shall be provided by a range of sources including but not limited to employees of the Bureau of Prisons and U.S. Probation System. Daily conduct of job responsibilities after initial training shall be supervised by the Supervisor or the senior Security Monitor on shift.
Impact:
The Security Monitor is a critical element of daily operations at NWRRC. Without the professional execution of assigned duties by all Security Monitors on shift, NWRRC will fail in one or more of its contract requirements. The professionalism and civility demonstrated by
Security Monitors sets the tone for the NWRRC facility and for the program in general. Each
Security Monitor must know the elements of the BOP Statement of Work and perform required duties in a firm, fair and consistent manner for NWRRC to achieve its mission of accountability.
Environment Factors:
Correctional facilities by nature can be stressful at times. Working in close proximity to persons exhibiting a range of behaviors and personalities traits may be problematic for persons even if they are normally even-tempered and emotionally mature. Without a clear understanding of expected relationship boundaries and what constitutes professional behavior in a correctional setting, employees can find themselves manipulated, compromised, or at the minimum, frustrated. The Security Monitor needs to be sensitive to the mood and behaviors of residents and be able to communicate uniform standards without emotionally exhibiting undue irritation or enabling behaviors.
All employment offers are subject to successful completion of drug testing and a federal background investigation.
