Prison officers protect the public and help make a positive impact on people’s lives.
This fast-paced role offers a successful career with endless opportunities to grow and develop.
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 parent supporting a child
- A teacher guiding students
- 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
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
