Supporting rehabilitation initiatives and encouraging positive behaviours
Building respectful, professional relationships with prisoners to promote a safer, more supportive atmosphere

Who We're Looking For

There’s no such thing as a typical prison officer. Our team is made up of people from all walks of life – whether you’re a parent, former teacher, retail worker, member of the armed forces, or simply someone who thrives on helping others.

Effective Communication – Listen actively and speak clearly and confidently
Conflict Resolution – Use de-escalation techniques to manage tension and disputes
Teamwork – Collaborate closely with colleagues for the safety and success of all
Vigilance – Remain observant, alert, and responsive to potential risks

Training and Development

You don’t need prior experience to apply. You’ll receive a comprehensive 8-week training programme, delivered locally, to fully prepare you for the role. This includes:

Classroom and practical learning
Conflict resolution and communication training
Shadowing experienced officers
Continued development and support throughout your career

Be at least 18 years of age at the time your employment begins
Meet the required eyesight standards in both eyes, with or without corrective lenses
Have an adequate level of hearing without the use of hearing aids, for safety reasons during training and operational duties
Tattoos are permitted, including those that are visible, but must not be offensive, discriminatory, violent, or intimidating.
Facial tattoos are generally not allowed, except where they are for cultural, religious, or medical reasons

A Role That Offers More
