• Support prisoners to engage with education, work and rehabilitation opportunities.

• Work closely with colleagues and partner services to support the daily prison regime.

• Resilience, empathy and professionalism.

• Good judgement and the ability to remain calm under pressure.

• Confidence to challenge inappropriate behaviour fairly and appropriately.

• A commitment to teamwork, inclusion and making a positive difference.
