About the Role
Prison officers play a crucial role in protecting the public and helping people turn their lives around. This varied and rewarding role requires someone with integrity, strength of character, and empowering skills to make a real difference.
No two days are ever the same. From shaping policy on prisoners’ behaviour to improving regime day-to-day, your work will have a direct and lasting impact. What starts with a Prison Officer, can turn into a career with opportunities to progress into other roles and specialisations.
Someone Like You
We’re looking for committed people who:
- Have the empathy, self-confidence, and communication skills that arise from diverse experiences.
- Can build constructive, positive and professional relationships with offenders at a low point in their lives.
- Are team players—fully committed to a professional, collaborative approach to keeping the prison safe for all.
- Can adjust to a dynamic working environment, where shifts require flexibility and regular weekend work.
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.
