*First Time Prison Officer - relocation available*
*GBP24,427 - GBP32,044 plus relocation package*
Applying for your first prison officer role and happy to relocate? Get your career off to a great start, gaining valuable experience working at one of our larger prisons and earn up to GBP8k more than you would if you applied direct to a prison you're allocated to under this scheme.
Read more, and if you're keen to take your first step towards a rewarding career as a prison officer and are happy to move away from home to do so, consider applying for this national scheme. Move away to join a prison that's 75 minutes or more from where you currently live and not only will you benefit from a greater variety of experience than you would working at a smaller prison, you will also get higher take-home pay, your accommodation costs paid for up to 3 years, and a paid monthly trip home - all up to GBP8k a year.
*About the role*
As a prison officer, you'll be part of a diverse team, making an impact, doing meaningful work in our prisons.
Working in a prison is fast-paced and varied, and no two days are the same. You could be a negotiator or referee one minute, a social worker or mentor the next. You'll work with a range of people and perform a variety of tasks - from keeping the prison safe and secure, to helping vulnerable people through a difficult time in their lives.
What we expect from our prison officers
There's no such thing as a typical prison officer. Our people come from different walks of life, just like the offenders they work with. Whether you're a parent, a teacher, have worked in retail or the Armed Forces, you'll have developed the empathy, self-confidence and great communication skills we expect. Every shift is different, but each one is an opportunity to make a difference in a vulnerable person's life - an experience you won't find anywhere else.
Teamwork plays a vital role in a prison environment, so you'll need to 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.
*What you can expect from us*
It can be a challenging job, but in return you will get good pay, training, benefits and have the support of a strong team. Plus 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, one of the best pension schemes in the country, Cycle to Work schemes and season ticket loans, retail discounts, Employee Assistance Programme and access to a free on-site gym.
• Earn up to GBP8k more than you would if applying direct to the prison you're allocated to under this scheme.
• Choose 3 or more prisons that are 75 minutes or more away from your home.
• We will aim to place you at one of these. You will be allocated to a prison that has the most need for prison officers at the time.
• Get your accommodation costs paid for up to 3 years and a monthly trip home.
• As the prisons on the first time prison officer relocation scheme have an ongoing need for prison officers, you should be able to start your paid training sooner than if applying via the standard application process.
• Gain a greater variety of experience than you would working at a smaller prison.
*How to apply*
If you're a people person who enjoys a challenge and you're looking to make a real difference in a role with great variety, training, progression and benefits, apply now.
