Georgia’s Juvenile Justice Commissioner Avery D. Niles says DJJ is seeking veterans and other highly qualified candidates to fill new Juvenile Corrections Officer (JCO) employment opportunities now available at Georgia juvenile justice facilities throughout the state.
Ten job fairs are scheduled on DJJ’s recruitment calendar this month in DJJ’s South, East and West Recruiting Regions. Recruiters will be setting up career fairs in Dublin, Valdosta, Warner Robins, Bainbridge, Statesboro, Hinesville, Americus, Clarkston, Augusta, Atlanta and Lovejoy.
“We’re looking for mature, responsible adults,” said Commissioner Niles. “We’re doing on the spot interviews. We’re hiring candidates who are deeply motivated to help young offenders through their troubled life transitions.”
The closest such event is the Lovejoy Community Career Fair, scheduled for Thursday, March 17, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at 11622 Hastings Bridge Road in Lovejoy.
For more information, contact the Lovejoy Community Center at 678-479-8655.
There is no charge for participation at juvenile corrections career fairs. DJJ recruiters are authorized to interview qualified candidates on-the-spot for new correctional officer opportunities. Applicants should bring their resumes and come dressed for job interviews.
