HMP Wetherby

Prison officers protect the public and help to make a positive impact on people’s lives, 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. As you gain experience, you’ll find opportunities to grow and develop.
Someone like you
There’s no typical Youth Justice Worker. Our people come from diverse backgrounds, 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 empathy, self-confidence, and great communication skills.
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 their lowest point.
Teamwork is vital, so you’ll need to be committed to supporting your colleagues and acting as a team to keep everyone safe.
You will be required to work various shifts and weekends.
An extraordinary job
In this career, you’ll perform different roles daily—sometimes a peacekeeper, other times a counselor or teacher. You’ll work directly with prisoners, helping to protect the public and make a positive impact.
What You Can Expect From Us
Great training, opportunities for progression, and specialization in different areas. Benefits include a good salary, 25 days’ holiday, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, Employee Assistance Programme, and Cycle to Work scheme.
The role offers a sense of achievement, helping offenders to turn their lives around—an experience you won’t find elsewhere.
