We understand it might feel a bit daunting, thinking about your time in the Armed Forces coming to an end and what you might want to do next. That’s why we’ll do whatever we can to help support your transition into civilian working life. We offer roles you can feel at home in, too.
Working with HMPPS, you’ll still feel a sense of purpose and belonging. You can bring the skills, experience and resilience you’ve built over your military service, and start a new career that will be just as rewarding.
Advance into Justice is open to Armed Forces Service Leavers, Veterans, Spouses and Reservists.
Someone like you
The Youth Custody Service is transforming its workforce, and we invite you to be part of this journey. The youth justice worker role is similar to that of a prison officer, but specifically focused on supporting children and young people in custody. This role is vital in reshaping how children and young people are cared for in custody.
In this role you will be responsible for ensuring the security and safety of children and young people while providing day-to-day support in a custodial setting. Comprehensive training and development will equip you with the knowledge to understand the diverse backgrounds and individual circumstances of those in youth custody, and how your responses in complex or dynamic situations can help these individuals build better futures. We are seeking individuals with a special ability to support and guide vulnerable children and young people.
You will need a DBS check.
An extraordinary job
This role will be dealing with the practical side of life for children in custody. This includes, but is not limited to, interventions when required, overseeing and facilitating safe movement around the site, and providing supervision to ensure safety.
You will be working with children and young people who may have committed serious offenses, come from challenging backgrounds, and/or have mental health needs. These young individuals may test boundaries, but they also have significant potential for positive change. You will play a significant part in providing them with opportunities to better their future.
