Corrections Officers work inside our prisons and are responsible for ensuring the security and wellbeing of people serving sentences or on remand. They induct people into their unit, help them to navigate life in prison, and supervise daily routines. By being prosocial role models, our Corrections Officers also play a significant part in creating change and making our communities safer.
The role of a Corrections Officer varies, including tasks across specialised units, security levels and site-specific activities.
All new officers attend an intensive, fully paid training programme to equip them with necessary skills required for the job.
