It's a job not a career. You have to zone out to survive. But it's good money and not as violent as people think - Senior Prison Officer HM Prison Service Employee Review

Great people, varied work, unique environment.

Low investment in workforce. Poor HR services.

Good professional team to work with, experienced colleagues to use as reference. Decent working hours and opportunities to develop your career.

Wages have effectively been reduced, Staffing levels lowered to dangerous levels, more work load expected for a lot less money, Poor quality made uniforms.
