Correctional Services and Reintegration (JuWe) is part of the Directorate of Justice and the Interior of the Canton of Zurich and employs around 1,400 women and men with diverse professional profiles. JuWe is responsible for penal and measure enforcement as well as the implementation of various types of detention. For JuWe employees, the successful social reintegration of offenders and the prevention of recidivism are of particular importance.
The main department of remand prisons Zurich (UGZ) - one of seven main departments of JuWe - currently operates seven prisons for pre-trial and security detention. Two of these, the Zurich and Pfäffikon prisons, have joined forces and offer space for a total of 233 incarcerated persons.
Starting immediately or by arrangement, limited to six months, we are looking for a committed, dynamic, and humorous personality for the Zurich prison.

- You acquire orders and ensure quality and occupational safety standards
- You perform administrative tasks such as preparing reports and assessments of incarcerated persons
- You do not work night shifts but occasionally work weekends as part of the care work in the enforcement department
- You shape a culture in which the relationship with people in correctional services is factual, reflective, binding, respectful, and consistent
This is what you bring with you

- You can express yourself confidently in written and spoken German and optionally have good knowledge of another language
- You have good IT user skills and are proficient with the MS Office suite

- You have an impeccable reputation (no entries in the criminal record and debt enforcement register)
This is what makes the position special
