The Ministry of Justice (MoJ)


MOJ is one of the largest government departments, employing over 90,000 people (including those in the Probation Service), with a budget of approximately £9.5 billion.

Each year, millions of people use our services across the UK - including at 500 courts and tribunals, and 133 prisons in England and Wales.


The Work of the Prison Policy Directorate


The Prison Policy Directorate is a high-profile, friendly and supportive team, leading on an important area of social policy to make a meaningful difference to the lives of prisoners and the public.

The Directorate leads MoJ's work to ensure our prisons protect the public by holding prisoners safely and securely as they serve their sentences handed down by the courts, and to tackle the underlying causes of offending by promoting rehabilitation and reform.

At the centre of the Directorate is the Director's Office and Directorate Support Team.

This team underpins the smooth running of the Directorate, providing business management and PA support to the Director, the Deputy Directors, and their teams - enabling the Directorate as a whole to effectively and efficiently deliver its policy and corporate objectives.

Our PAs sit within the Directorate Support Team and are also fully embedded in their respective Deputy Directors' teams.

PAs play a central role in the life of these Divisions - leading corporate and administrative responsibilities, collaborating across teams, and assisting on policy work as required.
