There is no standard profile for a prison officer; individuals from varied backgrounds such as teaching, parenting, retail, or the military bring valuable qualities.

You will be expected to foster constructive, positive, and professional interactions with offenders, who may be at challenging points in their lives. Teamwork is paramount, requiring a commitment to working cohesively to maintain safety for inmates, staff, and the public. The role involves working different shifts including weekends.

What We Offer

The benefits package includes 25 days of annual leave, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, participation in an Employee Assistance Programme, and a Cycle to Work scheme.
