Mission

The Department of Corrections enhances public safety by providing effective programs, re-entry services, and supervision of sentenced offenders in a humane, cost-efficient manner, consistent with sound correctional principles and constitutional standards.

Application Process

• For employment consideration, individuals must submit an electronic application through the Commonwealth’s Recruitment Management System (RMS) at: https://jobs.agencies.virginia.gov/.
• Applications must be completed in full to receive consideration.  This includes specific information in the announcement related to education, work history and certification/licenses.  An incomplete application may eliminate individuals from consideration for a position.  Therefore, there should be an explanation of any gaps in employment from high school to present.
• Consideration for an interview is based solely on information provided in the application.  A resume will not substitute for a fully completed application.  Applications which include references to "See resume" will be considered incomplete.
• The RMS system will provide a confirmation of receipt when an application is electronically submitted.  Applicants should refer to their Virginia Jobs account for status of applications and positions.
