Aboriginal Community Development Officers
Job Profile
Aboriginal Community Development Officers (ACDOs) are integral to the Correctional Service of Canada’s (CSC’s) strategic priority of enhancing the programming and support it provides to assist Aboriginal offenders in their rehabilitation and successful reintegration into the community.
ACDOs work with Aboriginal communities, in both urban settings and on reserves, to ensure that effective support systems are in place for federal offenders preparing to return to an Aboriginal community. In so doing, ACDOs also work to build trusting and respectful relationships with Aboriginal communities, and ensure that members of Aboriginal communities are consulted before an offender returns to the community.
As an ACDO, you will notify leaders of Aboriginal communities when an offender is applying for parole and has indicated they would like to return to the community.
Working with the offender, CSC case management staff, Aboriginal community members and Aboriginal organizations, you will also develop release plans based on traditional Aboriginal community practices. The release plan may include partnerships with federal, provincial, or territorial governments, as well as Aboriginal organizations. ACDOs then facilitate, coordinate and assist the implementation of these plans, while ensuring they meet the needs of the community and the offender.
You will work closely with other CSC professionals including Parole Officers, Psychologists, Correctional Officers, Primary Workers, Kimisinaws, Correctional Managers, Elders, and Aboriginal Liaison Officers to ensure all relevant information regarding Aboriginal offender and their release is shared.
For more information: Visit the Correctional Service of Canada website.
Aboriginal Correctional Program Officers
Job Profile
Aboriginal Correctional Program Officers (ACPOs) are part of a team of Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) staff who are dedicated to improving efforts to rehabilitate Aboriginal offenders. Aboriginal people account for three per cent of the adult Canadian population; however Aboriginal offenders make up about 20 per cent of the offender population. Enhancing our capacity to provide interventions for First Nations, Métis and Inuit offenders is one of CSC’s strategic priorities.
Every day, ACPOs teach one or more culturally-appropriate healing and treatment programs for First Nations, Métis or Inuit offenders. In so doing, ACPOs guide, motivate, and encourage Aboriginal offenders along their path to rehabilitation.
As an ACPO you will teach the skills and competencies necessary for safe reintegration into the community, while providing advice and assessing offenders’ attitude and progress. You will be responsible for class preparation, marking offenders’ work, and completing reports on offender progress and performance.
As an ACPO, you will also assist in the development and implementation of offenders’ correctional plans.

Aboriginal people account for three per cent of the adult Canadian population; however Aboriginal offenders make up about 20 per cent of the offender population. Enhancing our capacity to provide interventions for First Nations, Métis and Inuit offenders is one of CSC’s strategic priorities.

As an ALO, you will develop and deliver Aboriginal orientation programs and assist Aboriginal offenders in their understanding and interpretation of rules and regulations surrounding corrections and conditional release.
You will work with other correctional staff including Correctional Officers, Primary Workers, Kimisinaws, Aboriginal Correctional Program Officers and Correctional Managers, along with Elders and Aboriginal organizations, to develop culturally-appropriate correctional and healing plans for individual offenders. You will also make recommendations on inmate participation in spiritual or cultural programs and inmate committees.
ALOs plan, develop and facilitate Aboriginal orientation programs and activities, and assess these activities for effectiveness at encouraging rehabilitation amongst offenders.
In addition, as an ALO, you will also be expected to assist with maintaining a community volunteer program and managing the volunteer citizen escort program, as needed.
