Meaningful and vital work: Prison Officers are key to ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of prisoners, staff, and visitors in their prisons. More importantly they play a vital role in reducing reoffending rates amongst prisoners. A world of opportunity: Our prisons hold a huge amount of variety and opportunity, with Officers being able to progress into Ops Management or specialist services such as Psychology, Education, Health, or the Animal unit. Great people: Due to the investment in safeguarding and rehabilitation, our prisons are calmer and may be very different to what you might imagine, but you'll receive all the training and advice you need from friendly and supportive colleagues. Please note that this position is based at HMP Fosse Way in Leicester, which has limited public transport options. Due to the nature of our shift patterns, we strongly encourage applicants to consider their commute time and transportation options before applying. Therefore, we recommend that candidates live within a 30 mile radius of the above location to maintain punctuality, work-life balance, and job satisfaction What else do I need to know This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, and all offers of employment are subject to security clearance checks, and satisfactory employment references. You'll be required to provide 5 years of employment and education history as part of these checks. This role is not eligible for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship under current UK Home Office rules, as it does not meet the required salary or skill level criteria.
