Role overview
His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service is hiring prison officers for HMP Highpoint. This is a demanding, fast-moving public service role where you will help keep people safe, support rehabilitation, and contribute to the wider goal of protecting the public.
The salary for this position is £35,746 to £40,003.
What the role involves
Every day in this job can look different. You may be required to act as a calm presence, support individuals through difficult moments, or guide learning and positive behaviour. As you build experience, you will also have opportunities to grow, progress, and move into specialist areas.
You will work directly with prisoners in a highly structured environment and help maintain safety for offenders, colleagues, and the wider establishment.
Who this role suits
The service is looking for people with integrity, resilience, confidence, empathy, and strong communication skills. Applicants may come from any background, including parenting, teaching, retail, or the armed forces, as these experiences can help build the people skills needed for the role.
You should be able to form respectful, professional, and constructive relationships with offenders, including people who may be at a very low point in their lives.
Working well as part of a team is essential, because safety in the prison depends on close cooperation and a shared approach.
Working pattern
This post requires shift work and weekend availability.
Training, growth and benefits
New starters receive strong training and ongoing development support, with opportunities to progress and specialise over time.
Benefits include 25 days of annual leave, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme, and access to a Cycle to Work scheme.
The role also offers the satisfaction of helping people move forward in life, which is a key part of working in the prison service.
How to apply
Interested candidates who match the qualities described are encouraged to apply.
