HMP Wetherby
£32,448 - £36,541
Prison officers protect the public and help to make a positive impact on people’s
lives
and in this case
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. And, as you gain experience,
you’ll
find a range of opportunities to grow and develop into.
Someone like you
There’s
no such thing as a 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
great communication
skills we expect.
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 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.
An extraordinary job
In this unique career,
you’ll
have the opportunity to 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 in a unique environment, helping to protect the public and make a positive impact.
What you can expect from us
You’ll
be given great training and opportunities for progression and development - including the chance to specialise in different areas.
There’s
a good salary to look forward to, as well as 25 days’ holiday allowance each year, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, Employee Assistance Programme and Cycle to Work scheme.
The rewards
aren’t
all
you’ll
gain from a role in the prison service.
There’s
the sense of achievement you feel when
you’ve
helped an offender to get their life back on track - the kind of experience you simply
won’t
find anywhere else.
