No specific qualifications or relevant experience is required.

The philosophy of G4S prisons is to rehabilitate offenders and equip them to re-integrate into mainstream society on release.

You must be flexible and available to work any shift pattern. Which will include a mixture of mornings, afternoons, evenings, and night shifts over a 40-hour working week, including every other weekend. With the option for overtime and shift increases this opportunity has excellent earning potential
