Working pattern and location considerations
This post is based at HMP Long Lartin in Atch Lench, England, United Kingdom. Some prison sites are in rural areas with limited public transport, so having a driving licence and your own transport can be helpful, though it is not mandatory unless specifically stated for the post.

No formal qualifications are required. The ideal candidate is a clear communicator who stays composed when pressure is high. Good judgement, practical common sense and a strong team ethic are essential.
This position offers an opportunity to build experience in the prison system, learn how a prison operates, and explore progression into other prison roles, including the OSG to Prison Officer conversion route.
Training, progression and benefits
You will receive training along with opportunities to develop and progress within the service.
Alongside base pay, the package includes annual leave of 25 days on appointment, increasing to 30 days after 10 years of service on a pro-rata basis, plus 9 days of bank, public and privilege holidays. Other benefits include access to a paid Level 2 apprenticeship in customer service, the Civil Service pension scheme, season ticket loans, retail discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme and a Cycle to Work scheme.
