- Empathy – you’ll build strong, constructive relationships with offenders at a crucial moment in their lives.
- Strength of character – confidence, resilience, and professionalism are essential.
- Teamwork – you’ll support colleagues daily in this fast-paced, safety-focused environment.
- Adaptability – no two days are the same, and you’ll switch roles daily (peacemaker, counsellor, teacher, and more).
