We are currently recruiting for Prison Custody Officers for our client in Bridgend - South Wales

Working in a HMP and YOI isn’t easy but can be hugely rewarding. You will face fresh challenges each day ranging from care and support to control and security issues.

The aim is to protect the public by keeping prisoners in custody and working with them to reduce the chance of them re-offending on release.

Our challenging regime is designed to address prisoners’ offending behaviour, to give them choices and the chance to gain valuable life skills. People like you can help us continue this good work.

As a Prison Custody Officer, you will play a crucial part in caring for over 1,400 prisoners in safe and decent conditions.

You will assist with resettlement opportunities by properly preparing prisoners for their release from custody. In addition to custodial duties, our staff are required to build and maintain dynamic security relationships with prisoners under their care.

This is a complex and challenging balance of authority that requires understanding and compassion. Qualifications aren’t essential, life experience is far more important, as is the ability to remain calm and deal with all kinds of people in a non-judgemental, mature manner.
