Unfortunately, we cannot consider those who have served time in prison to work on our Custodial team.

We hold our staff to very high standards in terms of their previous criminal history in order to maintain their safety in the role.

You may be more interested in working for a programme provider to provide support services to those in prison instead.

However, if you have only committed a criminal offense (without serving prison time) then you may still be eligible. You can find out more here.
