About the Role
No two days—or situations—are ever the same in this extraordinary profession. Your work as a prison officer will evolve, challenging and rewarding you in ways unlike any other career.
Who We’re Looking For
Prison officers aren’t one size fits all. You could be from any background—seeing, sharing, and shaping lives at a difficult time, from:

- A retail worker with outstanding communication skills
- A man/woman of the armed forces with resilience and discipline
You’ll bring empathy, self-confidence, and professionalism to every aspect of your 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’ll continue working—no matter the circumstances—to build constructive, positive, and professional relationships with offenders in need.

This is a multi-faceted role—sometimes you’re:
- A peacemaker – De-escalating conflicts in what could be high-pressure situations
- A counsellor/carer – Supporting prisoners with mental health, welfare, and life skills
- A teacher/mentor – Helping offenders rebuild their futures
Success here means protecting the public while making a real difference in people’s lives. This kind of satisfaction? Priceless.
