Corrections Officer - Paid Training, No Experience Required

$26.9 - $30.18 per hour

Cumberland County Government

Cumberland County Jail Job Opportunity

Looking for a stable career with real impact—and strong pay from day one? At Cumberland County Jail, you don't need prior corrections experience to get started. We'll train you, certify you, and pay you while you learn. What we're looking for are people who can stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and treat others with fairness and respect.

This isn't just about security—it's about structure, accountability, and helping people move forward. Please note, applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.

What You'll Earn

Starting pay: $26.90 – $30.18/hour
Evening shift: $27.60/hour to start
Overtime stipend: +$5.15/hour over 56 hours
Shift differentials:
- +$0.70/hour (3pm–11pm)
- +$0.85/hour (11pm–7am)
- +$1.00/hour (weekends)
Education pay: up to +$0.38/hour
Already certified?
- $6,000 sign-on bonus
- Credit for up to 15 years of experience (pay)
- Up to 10 years credit toward vacation

What You'll Do

Maintain safety and security for staff and inmates
Monitor housing units and conduct routine checks
Respond to incidents and de-escalate conflict
Escort inmates to court, medical, and other appointments
Document behavior and write clear reports
Enforce rules consistently and fairly
Support a structured, respectful environment

Why This Job Stands Out

Paid training + certification (no experience needed)
No-deductible health insurance
Maine State Retirement + Social Security
Tuition assistance
Clear paths to advancement (including patrol and other county roles)
A career where every day matters

What You Need

High school diploma or GED
Valid driver's license
Ability to pass background check, physical, and drug screen
Strong communication and decision-making skills
Ability to stay professional in stressful situations
Willingness to work nights, weekends, holidays, and overtime

Who Succeeds Here

People who are:

Calm under pressure
Fair, consistent, and observant
Comfortable setting boundaries
Respectful—but not easily pushed around

Make an Impact—Apply Today

If you're looking for a career with stability, purpose, and real earning potential, we'd like to hear from you.
