HM Prison Youth Justice Worker opportunities
HMP Wetherby
£32,448 - £36,541
Prison officers protect the public and help to make a positive impact on people’s lives, supporting children and young people in custody.
If you have the integrity, skills, and strength of character we’re looking for, 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 opportunities to grow and develop into.
Someone like you
There’s no typical Youth Justice Worker. Our people come from different walks of life, just like the offenders they work with. Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, have worked in retail or the armed forces, you’ll have developed the empathy, self-confidence, and communication skills we value.
No matter the challenge, you’ll take the time to build constructive, positive, and professional relationships with children and young people who could be at their lowest point.
Teamwork is vital in this environment, so you’ll need to support your colleagues and act as one team to keep everyone safe.
You will be required to work various shifts and weekends.
An extraordinary job
In this career, you’ll carry out many different roles in a single day. One minute you’re a peacekeeper, the next a counselor or a teacher. You’ll work directly with prisoners in a unique environment, helping to protect the public and make a positive impact.
What You Can Expect From Us
Great training and opportunities for progression, including specialization options.
A competitive salary, 25 days’ holiday, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, Employee Assistance Programme, and Cycle to Work scheme.
The rewards go beyond benefits — there’s a real sense of achievement in helping offenders turn their lives around.
