Stellenbeschreibung
Role overview
His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service is recruiting prison officers for HMP Highpoint in Woodditton, England. This is a demanding, people-focused role where you help maintain safety and security while also supporting prisoners to make constructive changes in their lives.
The position offers a salary in the range of £35,746 to £40,003. The work is varied, fast-moving, and different every day, with opportunities to grow into new responsibilities over time.
Who this role suits
This opportunity is open to people from a wide range of backgrounds. Experience from roles such as parenting, teaching, retail, or the armed forces may all translate well because the job calls for empathy, confidence, strong communication, and the ability to stay composed under pressure.
You’ll need to be comfortable building respectful, professional relationships with offenders, including individuals who may be at a very difficult point in their lives. A collaborative mindset is essential, as the role depends on working closely with colleagues to help keep the prison environment safe for everyone.
What the job involves
In this career, you may switch between several responsibilities within a single shift. At one moment you could be helping maintain order, and shortly after you may need to guide, support, or educate prisoners depending on the situation.
The work is hands-on and directly contributes to protecting the public while helping people in custody move toward a better future.
Working pattern
Applicants must be prepared for a rota that includes different shifts and weekend working.
Training, growth and benefits
New recruits receive strong training and development support, with chances to progress and specialise in different areas of the service.
Benefits include 25 days of annual leave, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme, and a Cycle to Work scheme.
Beyond the practical benefits, the role also offers a strong sense of purpose and the chance to make a real difference in someone’s life.
How to apply
Interested candidates who feel aligned with the qualities needed for the role are encouraged to submit an application.
