Do you have integrity, skills and strength of character? This fast‑paced role could be the start of a successful career. No two days or situations are ever the same. As you gain experience, you’ll find a range of opportunities to grow and develop.
About You
There’s no such thing as a typical prison officer. Our people come from different walks of life, just like the offenders they work with. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, have worked in retail or the armed forces, you’ll have the empathy, self‑confidence and great communication skills we expect. You will need to build constructive, positive, professional relationships with offenders who could be at the lowest point in their lives.
Teamwork plays a vital role in this environment, so you’ll need to be fully committed to supporting your colleagues and understand the importance of acting as one team to keep the prison, offenders and everyone who works here safe. You will be required to work various shifts and weekends.
Roles and Responsibilities
In this unique career, you’ll carry out many different roles in any one day. One minute you’re a peacekeeper, the next you’re a counsellor or a teacher. You’ll work directly with prisoners, helping to protect the public and make a positive impact.
What You’ll Receive
- Great training and opportunities for progression and development, including the chance to specialise in different areas.
- Salary £33,746 – £38,003.
- 25 days’ holiday allowance each year.
- Childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, Employee Assistance Programme, and Cycle to Work scheme.
The rewards include the sense of achievement when you’ve helped an offender to get their life back on track – the kind of experience you simply won’t find anywhere else.
