Prison officers protect the public and help to make a positive impact on people’s lives. 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.
What you’ll bring
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, a teacher, have worked in retail or the armed forces, you’ll have developed the empathy, self-confidence and great communication skills we expect. You will be required to work various shifts and weekends.
Responsibilities
Build constructive, positive and professional relationships with offenders who could be at the lowest point in their lives. Teamwork is vital to support colleagues and act as one team to keep the prison, offenders and everyone who works here safe. Carry out many different roles in any one day: peacekeeper, counsellor or 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 receive great training and opportunities for progression and development, including the chance to specialise in different areas. Benefits include 25 days’ holiday per year, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, Employee Assistance Programme and Cycle to Work scheme.
