48110 (2024). Dr Tracey McLellan to the Minister of Corrections: How many back-office roles are at Corrections, as of 31 July 2024?

Hon Mark Mitchell: Corrections is one of New Zealand’s largest core agencies, employing nearly 10,000 staff. The majority of Corrections’ workforce is deployed in frontline roles across 17 Corrections-managed prisons and many more Community Corrections sites across New Zealand. The remaining staff in back-office roles enable frontline staff to carry out their role by providing support. I am advised that as at 31 July 2024, from a total of 1,348.45 FTE back-office roles, 285.47 FTE are unfilled. This is also my response to WPQ 48111 (2024).
