Role: The Edmonton District is looking to fill a number of temporary Associate Probation Officer position(s) located at the Edmonton Adult Attendance Centre. You will be part of the Mobile Monitoring Unit, and will be at the forefront of a new and innovative way to provide community supervision using technology! You will be working alongside other Associate Probation Officers to administer community corrections programming to individuals located throughout Alberta.
Under the direction of a Senior Probation Officer/Manager, you will be responsible for supervising pre-trial and low-risk sentenced clients. You will be responsible for administering community supervision, including completing referrals and liaising with law enforcement and community-based agencies.
Using your excellent interpersonal and communication skills (both written and verbal), you will conduct interviews and investigations, and prepare reports. You will utilize technological solutions, including the RePath application in accordance with policy to ensure maximum casework efficiencies are met while carrying a demanding caseload.

This position requires that you possess superior time management and technical skills to effectively complete case management and prioritize competing workload pressures. You will have demonstrated the ability to gather, analyze, interpret and process information for investigative reports and casework processes. Goal-oriented thinking, creative problem-solving skills, agility, and a drive for results are also imperative for this role.
