Someone like you
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.

You will be required to work various shifts and weekends.
An extraordinary job
In this unique career, you’ll 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 receive great training and opportunities for progression and development, including the chance to specialise in different areas. There’s a good salary, plus 25 days’ holiday allowance each year, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme and the Cycle to Work scheme.
