Office worker. Truck driver. Graduate. It doesn’t matter what background you come from: there’s a great future ahead of you if you have the right qualities to become a Prison Officer.

We need confident, resilient people with excellent communication and listening skills, flexibility and common sense. Your positive attitude, together with high standards of personal integrity and commitment, will win the respect and trust of both prisoners and colleagues.

A career as a Prison Officer isn’t about keeping people under lock and key.

You’ll not only get enormous satisfaction from helping to turn lives around, you’ll also be making a valuable contribution to society as a whole.
