On entry most posts offer between 22 days and 25 days per year, with senior posts attracting an annual leave allowance of 30 days on entry. On top of this you will also receive public and privilege holidays. Leave for part-time and job share posts will be calculated on a pro-rata basis.

Childcare vouchers

The Prison Service offers a childcare vouchers scheme. The scheme enables staff to take part of their salary in the form of Childcare Vouchers. This is known as a Salary Sacrifice. The vouchers can then be used to help meet the costs of any form of registered or approved childcare for children aged 0 -16. The vouchers are exempt from tax and National Insurance contributions.

Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS)
All Prison Officers and those working in regulated activity will be subject to the provisions of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006.

Barred individuals who seek to undertake work with vulnerable groups will be subject to criminal penalties. Further guidance can be found on the ISA
