Corrections Deputy

Iron County • Cedar City, UT

About The Position

Iron County is accepting applications to create a HIRING ROSTER for employment as a CORRECTIONS DEPUTY at the Iron County Jail. This roster can be utilized for a period of 12 months. This is not a Corrections Deputy position, but rather a hiring roster to fill positions as they become available. If you are interested in pursuing a career in Corrections and would like to be considered for future openings, please apply. A 10-week P.O.S.T. Corrections Officer Training Program is required after hire. Because there are significant costs to Iron County for Deputies who are uncertified and need to attend the P.O.S.T training academy after hire, Iron County will ask for a two (2) year employment commitment to begin after the required certification is complete. Repayment will be expected for a prorated portion of training costs for months of the agreement not completed.
