HM Prison Youth Justice Worker opportunities
HMP Wetherby
£32,448 - £36,541
Prison officers protect the public and help to make a positive impact on people’s lives by 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 a range of opportunities to grow and develop.
Someone like you
There’s no such thing as a typical Youth Justice Worker. 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 communication skills we expect.
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 the lowest point in their lives.
Teamwork is vital in this environment, so you’ll need to be 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.
An extraordinary job
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.
What You Can Expect From Us
You’ll receive excellent training and opportunities for progression and development, including the chance to specialise in different areas.
Benefits include a competitive salary, 25 days’ holiday, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, Employee Assistance Programme, and Cycle to Work scheme.
The rewards aren’t only financial. You’ll gain a sense of achievement when you help an offender get their life back on track—an experience you won’t find elsewhere.
