An extraordinary job for someone like you.
Prison officers protect the public and help to make a positive impact on people’s lives.
If you have the integrity, skills, and strength of character we’re looking for, this fast-paced role could be the start of a successful career. No two days or situations are ever the same. With experience, you’ll uncover diverse opportunities to grow and progress further.
Someone Like You
There’s no single type of prison officer. Our team comes from all walks of life—parents, educators, ex-retail employees, or former service members—just like the offenders they support. You’ll likely bring empathy, self-confidence, and outstanding communication skills, which are essential in this role.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You must foster constructive, professional relationships with offenders, many of whom are at one of the lowest points in their lives. Teamwork is vital: dedication to colleagues and a commitment to acting as one united team are critical to safeguarding the prison, supporting offenders, and keeping everyone in the workplace secure.
Note: You will be expected to work various shifts and weekends.
An Extraordinary Job
No other career offers such diversity. In a single day, you might switch roles:
- Peacemaker – handling conflict
- Counsellor – offering guidance
- Teacher – delivering rehabilitation programmes
