About the Role
An extraordinary job. Done by someone like you.
Prison officers play a critical role in protecting the public while making a positive impact on people’s lives.
Every role is different—no two days or situations are ever alike! Our teams grow together, offering development opportunities, specialisation, and long-term career progression.
Someone Like You
No single background matches a prison officer’s requirements. You might have experience as a parent, teacher, retail worker, or member of the armed forces—you’ll have already developed the key skills we need:
- Empathy – understanding individuals at their lowest point
- Self-confidence – maintaining calm under pressure
- Strong communication – building constructive, professional relationships
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.
