An extraordinary job. Done by someone like you.

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 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.

In this role you’ll build constructive, positive and professional relationships with offenders who could be at the lowest point in their lives. Teamwork plays a vital role, 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.

• You’ll be given great training and opportunities for progression and development — including the chance to specialise in different areas.
• Good salary and benefits: 25 days’ holiday allowance each year, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, Employee Assistance Programme and Cycle to Work scheme.
• A sense of achievement from helping an offender get their life back on track.
