Descrizione del lavoro
Role overview
His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) is hiring Prison Officers for HMP Wayland in Cranwich, England. This is a fast-moving, people-focused role where you help maintain safety, support rehabilitation, and contribute to a positive difference in offenders’ lives.
The position offers a salary of £33,746 to £38,003. It can be a strong career starting point for people with integrity, resilience, sound judgement, and the ability to handle demanding situations calmly.
What the role involves
Prison officers work in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same. The job can involve acting as a protector, guide, listener, or mentor depending on the situation, while always keeping the prison, prisoners, colleagues, and the public safe.
You will work directly with prisoners and help create constructive, professional relationships with individuals who may be at a very difficult point in their lives. As you gain experience, there are opportunities to progress and move into specialist areas.
Who this role suits
HMPPS welcomes applicants from varied backgrounds. Experience from fields such as parenting, teaching, retail, or the armed forces may translate well, especially where it has strengthened communication, confidence, empathy, and the ability to work with people.
The role requires a strong team mindset, the ability to support colleagues, and a commitment to acting together to maintain safety and order.
Working pattern
You must be able to work different shifts and weekends.
Training, development, and benefits
Successful candidates will receive strong training and support for career development, including opportunities to specialise in different areas.
Benefits mentioned for the role 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 benefits, the role offers the satisfaction of helping people make positive changes and supporting rehabilitation in a way that is not typical of many other jobs.
Application note
Applicants who feel they have the right qualities are encouraged to submit an application.
