Become a prison teacher

Prison teaching progression and development

Like teaching in mainstream education, working as a prison teacher offers opportunities for career development and progression.

If you work for an education provider, they will have training and development programmes to support you, including an opportunity to develop your teaching skills.

If you work for HMPPS in one of the four prisons in Wales, you will have access to the wide range of training and career development opportunities that are available to all HMPPS staff.

There are also a wide range of other career opportunities in prison education, skills and work roles that you could consider.
