His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service
£33,746 – £38,003
Prison officers protect the public and help to make a positive impact on people’s lives. If you have integrity, skills and strength of character, 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 a range of opportunities to grow and develop into a specialist.
There’s no single profile for a prison officer – people come from different walks of life. Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, have worked in retail or the armed forces, you’ll have developed the empathy, self‑confidence and strong communication skills we expect. You will build constructive, positive and professional relationships with offenders, many of whom may be at a low point in their lives. Teamwork is vital, so you’ll need to be fully committed to supporting colleagues and 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.
What You Can Expect From Us
* Great training and opportunities for progression and development, including the chance to specialise in different areas.
* Competitive salary, 25 days holiday allowance each year, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, Employee Assistance Programme, and Cycle to Work scheme.
* A sense of achievement when you help an offender to get their life back on track – an experience you simply won’t find anywhere else.
