Prison officer opportunities
* HMP Woodhill
* £37,246 - £41,503
Prison officers come from all walks of life and perform a vital role in a unique working environment. They are like peacekeepers, teachers and counsellors all rolled into one. You could be too.
Working as a prison officer is anything but predictable, no two shifts are the same. But it’s about working together and keeping calm under pressure to keep everyone safe.
You’ll experience good days and tough days. You’ll need to be ready for challenging behaviour, and willing to take the rough with the smooth.
Rather than specific qualifications, we value personal qualities. You need to be resilient, a team player and have great communication skills.
To work in this high security prison, you will need Counter Terrorism Check security clearance so need to have been resident in the UK for the last 3 years.
It can be a challenging job, but in return you’ll get good pay, training and benefits and have the support of a strong team
