Kia ora e hoa,
In this issue of Tiritiri, we’re putting a focus on the diverse roles that make up our workforce - how these have changed over time, plus celebrating our staff working in them.
We look back to the 1840s and explore evolutions in the Corrections Officer and Probation roles, as well as look at some of the newer roles that have been introduced.
We also talk to Karl, who shares his 28-year journey at Corrections - spanning working on the prison floor as a Corrections Officer, to helping develop the training pathways we have today for Corrections Officers, Case Managers and Probation Officers. He shares his reflections on how the organisation has changed since he started and offers advice to new recruits starting their journey.
And if you’re curious about working as a psychologist or librarian, check out our articles celebrating the important work that they do.
Ngā mihi,
The People team
Still learning 28 years on
Karl's worked in many different roles across the organisation - starting out as a Corrections Officer on the floor, working as a prison negotiator, becoming a tactical instructor, sentence planning (before case managers existed), and supporting learning and development for a range of roles. He shares some of his reflections from his 28 year career.
Recognising our librarians
As the guardians of access to books and knowledge, Corrections’ librarians open new worlds to people in prison in an often quiet, but positively powerful, way.
Celebrating NZ Psychology Week
