About the role

State of South Carolina Department of Corrections is seeking a Security Supervisor for a minimum-security facility. Under general supervision, you will plan, coordinate and direct the security staff and oversee security, custody and control of inmates. You will conduct routine unit checks, assist with inmate counts, investigate complaints and arbitrate disputes, and serve as shift captain in the supervisor's absence. Eight weeks of SCDC Basic Training are required after hire.

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.
