Job Openings at the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department

We are currently accepting applications for our upcoming recruit academy which begins August 25th 2008.
The deadline for this is June 6th 2008.

The Plymouth County Sheriff's Department employs a diverse group of people with a variety of skills and experience.

Our largest area of employment opportunities is for correction officers who work inside the Plymouth County Correctional Facility. They make up approximately half of the work force. Many have military experience or a college degree, often in criminal justice. However, this is not a job requirement. Those hired as COs attend the Basic County Correction Officer Academy before actually manning a post.

Some officers’ move on to specialty assignments within the facility, such as maintenance, central control, booking, laundry & property, while others can obtain positions within the K9 and Transportation Units..

The correctional facility also has a medical unit that employs nurses, human service workers and educational staff.

Periodically, additional employment opportunities may arise for administrative support personnel, reserve deputy sheriffs, and computer technicians.

The department is looking for hardworking and dedicated individuals interested in a career in corrections or law enforcement. Basic requirements for employment are:

19 years of age

A high school diploma or an equivalency certificate issued by the Massachusetts Dept. of Education

A valid driver's license (class 3)

Pass a drug and psychological test

Pass a general and criminal background check
