Prison Officer Opportunities His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service. An extraordinary job. Done by someone like you. Prison Officers protect the public and help to make a positive impact on people’s lives. If you have integrity, skills, and strength of character, this fast‑paced role could be the start of a successful career. No two days or situations are ever the same. As you gain experience you’ll find a range of opportunities to grow and develop. There’s no such thing as a typical prison officer. Our people come from different walks of life—parents, teachers, retail staff, armed forces members— and you’ll have developed the empathy, self‑confidence and great communication skills we expect. No matter the challenge, you’ll build constructive, positive and professional relationships with offenders who may be at the lowest point in their lives. Teamwork plays a vital role in this environment, so you will be fully committed to supporting your colleagues and understand the importance of acting as one team to keep the prison, offenders and everyone who works here safe. You will be required to work various shifts and weekends. In this unique career, you’ll have the opportunity to carry out many different roles in a single day. One minute you’re a peacekeeper; the next you’re a counsellor or a teacher. You’ll work directly with prisoners, helping to protect the public and make a positive impact. What you can expect from us: great training, opportunities for progression and development—including the chance to specialise in different areas. There’s a good salary to look forward to, as well as 25 days’ holiday allowance each year, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, Employee Assistance Programme and Cycle to Work scheme. The rewards aren’t all you’ll gain from a role in the prison service. There’s also a sense of achievement you feel when you’ve helped an offender get their life back on track—a kind of experience you simply won’t find anywhere else.
