The position offers a salary of £35,746 to £40,003.
What the job involves
As a prison officer, no two days will look the same. Depending on the situation, you may need to act as a calm presence, provide guidance, or support learning and rehabilitation. The role is centred on working directly with prisoners in a secure environment while helping maintain safety for staff, offenders, and the wider public.
You will be expected to build constructive, respectful, and professional relationships with offenders, including people who may be going through extremely difficult times.
Teamwork is essential in this setting, so you must be committed to supporting colleagues and working as one unit to keep the prison safe and secure.
You will need to work rotating shifts and weekends.

There is no single background for a prison officer. People from many different professions can do well in this role, including parents, teachers, retail workers, and former armed forces personnel. The organisation is looking for people with integrity, resilience, self-belief, empathy, and strong communication skills.
This opportunity may suit someone who enjoys fast-moving work, can handle challenge, and wants a career with room to progress.
Training and progression
You will receive strong training and have access to development opportunities, including the chance to move into specialist areas as your experience grows.
Rewards and benefits
Along with the salary, the role includes 25 days of annual leave each year, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme, and a Cycle to Work scheme.
The role also offers the satisfaction of helping people make positive changes, which is described as a unique reward of working in the prison service.
