You will also have a willingness to travel, sometimes at short notice, to provide short or long term cover within the region including some overnight stays.

The biggest benefit though is our culture – our people really want to work for the organisation.
We welcome job applications from people with lived experience of the criminal justice system and do not routinely ask for details of any criminal convictions. These roles do require prison security clearance, so we will need to ask for details of any relevant criminal convictions before an offer of employment is finalised.
Interviews are planned for 15 & 16 May 2024 (online).
