About the role

The State of Illinois is seeking an experienced Assistant Warden at Murphysboro Life Skills Re-Entry Center to lead facility operations, security, and support services. You will drive safe, compliant operations and coordinate with custody and civilian staff to advance public safety and successful reentry. Ideal candidates have four years of college and several years of administrative experience in law enforcement or corrections, with strong leadership and decision-making abilities.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
