    Have you ever considered working... in a prison?

    This is an excellent opportunity to educate and rehabilitate adult learners.


    If you would like a unique and challenging non-teaching role, where you can genuinely make a difference, enhance the prospects of learners, and ultimately change people's lives for the better - then this could be the opportunity for you.

    Like any educational setting, Prisons come with their challenges.

    In this environment, learners are locked up for large periods of the day, away from their families and for some, their children.

    Most are at rock bottom, having to live with the regret of what they have done - education gives them a focus.

    And hope.


    Education provides prisoners with an opportunity to upskill, increasing their future employment prospects which directly reduces the likelihood of reoffending.

    Many prisoners will arrive without having basic Maths or English skills.

    Prison Education ensures all learners are put through Functional Skills Maths & English, which then puts them on the pathway to vocational learning courses, such as Carpentry, Bricklaying, Painting & Decorating, Plastering & Tiling, Industrial Cleaning, Barbering, Catering and Horticulture.
