Role overview
His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service is recruiting prison officers for HMP Highpoint. This is a high-energy, people-focused role where you help maintain safety, support rehabilitation, and contribute to protecting the public.
The position offers a salary of £35,746 to £40,003 and can be the beginning of a long-term career for someone with integrity, resilience, and strong interpersonal skills. The work is varied, and each day can bring different situations and responsibilities.
Who this role suits
There is no single background for a prison officer. People from many professions and life experiences can succeed in this job, including those who have worked in family care, education, retail, or the armed forces. The key qualities sought are empathy, confidence, clear communication, and the ability to build respectful professional relationships with offenders.
Because teamwork is essential in this environment, you must be committed to working closely with colleagues and understanding the importance of acting together to keep the prison, offenders, and staff safe.
What the work involves
This role is highly dynamic and can include several different duties in a single day. At times you may be maintaining order and calm, while at other moments you may be supporting, guiding, or educating prisoners. The role involves direct engagement with prisoners in a secure setting, with the wider aim of helping them move toward positive change.
You will need to be available for varied shift patterns and weekend working.
Training, progression, and benefits
HMPPS provides training and development opportunities, including the possibility of specialising in different areas as your experience grows. The package also includes 25 days of annual leave, childcare vouchers, season ticket loans, retail discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme, and a Cycle to Work scheme.
Along with the practical benefits, the role offers a strong sense of purpose and the satisfaction of helping someone turn their life around.
