직무 설명
Role overview
This is a prison officer position at HMP Highpoint within His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS). The role is described as fast-moving, varied, and rewarding, with the chance to make a real difference to public safety and to the lives of people in custody.
The salary range for this role is £35,746 to £40,003.
What the job involves
Prison officers are responsible for protecting the public while helping offenders move in a more positive direction. Day to day, the work can change quickly, and no two situations are likely to be the same. As experience builds, there are opportunities to progress and develop in different directions.
In this role, you may take on a mix of responsibilities across the course of a single day, including acting as a peacekeeper, counsellor, or teacher depending on the needs of the prison environment.
Who this role suits
There is no single background that defines a strong prison officer. The service welcomes people from a wide range of careers and life experiences, including parents, teachers, retail workers, and members of the armed forces. The key qualities sought are empathy, confidence, strong communication, integrity, and the ability to remain composed under pressure.
You will need to be comfortable building professional, constructive relationships with offenders, including people who may be at a very low point in their lives. Working well with colleagues is essential, as the role depends on a united team approach to keep the prison, offenders, and staff safe.
Working pattern
This job requires flexibility to work a range of shifts, including weekends.
Training, development and rewards
HMPPS provides structured training, along with opportunities to progress and specialise in different areas over time.
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 the personal reward of helping someone rebuild their life and get back on track.
How to apply
Candidates who feel they have the right qualities for the role are invited to submit an application.
