Prison officer role
Location: HMP Long Lartin Salary: £33,746 – £38,003
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 seek, this fast-paced role could be the start of a successful career. No two days—or situations—are ever the same, and with experience, opportunities for growth and diversification await.
Someone like you
There’s no prototypical prison officer. Our team comes from diverse backgrounds—parents, teachers, retail workers, ex-military—as diverse as the offenders they support.
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 will have developed strong empathy, self-confidence, and communication skills, traits we expect. Regardless of professional or personal experience, your ability to build constructive, positive, and professional relationships is key—especially with offenders at significant life lows.
As a team player, collaboration is crucial. Full commitment to supporting colleagues ensures the safety of prisoners, staff, and the prison environment itself.
Working pattern: Various shifts and weekends required.
An extraordinary job
A unique career with diverse responsibilities—nowhere else offers such variety. One moment you’re negotiating conflict, the next you’re offering counselling or mentoring. Direct intervention with prisoners makes a tangible difference, safeguarding the public and transforming lives.
