Anderson County Sheriff’s Office Is Hiring for Detention Center Team

If you’ve ever thought about working with the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office but assumed every position required a badge or law enforcement certification, here’s a local opportunity worth knowing about.

 

The Anderson County Sheriff’s Office is currently hiring a Detention Control and Property Specialist to join its Detention Center team. The position is listed as civilian/non-certified, opening the door for applicants interested in a public-service career without becoming a certified law enforcement officer.

 

According to the Sheriff’s Office hiring announcement, the position has a starting salary of $37,385, with compensation reaching up to $42,409 when holidays and built-in overtime are included.

What Does the Job Involve?

 

This isn’t your typical desk job. The Detention Control and Property Specialist helps support the day-to-day operation and security of the Anderson County Detention Center.

 

Responsibilities listed by the Sheriff’s Office include monitoring detention center control-room systems, including surveillance cameras, electronic doors, alarms and intercoms. The employee also helps coordinate access into secure areas, responds to security alerts and assists with maintaining accurate computerized records and logs.

 

The position also involves handling inmate property and assisting with administrative and operational duties within the facility.

What Are They Looking For?

 

Applicants must have a high school diploma or GED and a valid driver’s license. The Sheriff’s Office says candidates must successfully pass a background investigation, security clearance and other required screening.

Because the position works inside the detention environment, applicants should also be comfortable working in a secure facility and communicating with officers, staff, inmates and members of the public.

 

The job includes 24/7 operations with fixed shifts, which can include weekends, holidays and overtime when required.

 

Benefits Are Part of the Package

In addition to the advertised pay, the Sheriff’s Office lists several benefits, including state retirement, insurance options, vacation and sick leave, and holiday pay.

 

For someone looking to start—or make a change into—a career in public service, this could be an opportunity to become part of the Sheriff’s Office team in a civilian capacity while helping support the operation of the county detention center.
