Overview
Prison officer opportunities at HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) - HMP Full Sutton. Salary: £33,746 - £38,003. 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 have a range of opportunities to grow and develop into.
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’ll build constructive, positive and professional relationships with offenders who could be at the lowest point in their lives. Teamwork is vital, so you’ll need to be fully committed to supporting your 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.
In this unique career, you’ll have the opportunity to 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.
You’ll be given great training and opportunities for progression and development, including the chance to specialise in different areas.
There’s a good salary to look forward to, as well as 25 days’ holiday allowance each year, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme and a Cycle to Work scheme. The rewards aren’t all you’ll gain from a role in the prison service; there’s the sense of achievement you feel when you’ve helped an offender get their life back on track.
