Life as a prison leader 

You could build an ordinary career. Or you could build an extraordinary one as a prison leader.

  • There’s leadership. Then there’s creating the culture for hundreds of staff. 
  • There’s decision-making. Then there’s taking the action that restores order. 
  • There’s hitting targets. Then there’s reducing harm, preventing escape and changing lives. 

Making decisions is tough. Making decisions in a prison is tougher. And being a prison leader means having to navigate change while keeping the place running.  

That’s why it’s an extraordinary job – and it can be done by someone like you. 

Are you ready to step up and lead with purpose?
