Job Description
Ever considered working in a prison?
It might not be what you expect - in fact, it could be one of the most rewarding and meaningful roles you'll ever take on.
For many in custody, education offers hope, structure, and a chance to rebuild. For you, it offers the chance to be part of that transformation - every single day.
In this role, you'll be part of a close-knit team, working face-to-face with colleagues and learners. You'll benefit from clear boundaries between work and home life, with no work from home allowed, meaning NO MARKING or PLANNING on your weekends or evenings.
Prisons have dedicated education departments, complete with classrooms and fully-equipped workshops where learning takes place. Despite environmental challenges, you'll be supported by an experienced education team, with access to ongoing training and professional development.
