Prison officer opportunities
Location: HMP Long Lartin Salary: £33,746 - £38,003 per annum
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’re looking for, this fast-paced role could be the start of a successful career. No two days or situations are ever the same. With experience, you’ll find a range of opportunities to grow and develop.
Someone like you
There’s no such thing as a typical prison officer. Our people come from different backgrounds—just like the offenders they support. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or have worked in retail or the armed forces, you’ll have developed the empathy, self-confidence, and strong communication skills we take pride in.
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.
