HMPS Employee Review

Very stressful place

Instructional Officer (Current Employee) - Wolverhampton - 26 January 2023

Understaffed and management don't have a clue or care about staff. Expectations are too high considering what you have to work with. Do not apply unless you can cope with extreme stress and no recognition.

Pros

Not bad hours

Cons

How long have you got.....

Stressful and underwhelming

Prison Officer (Current Employee) - Kingston upon Hull - 2 November 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?Self rostering and working the shifts you wish What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Staff and management prisoners rarely the problem What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Poor working conditions and corruption in the promotion recruitment process What is a typical day like for you at the company?Very long staying beyond you’re finishing time

Prison service not good

Prison Officer (Former Employee) - Woodbridge - 11 August 2023

I would never work for the prison service again , it is so corrupt, I was at Warren hill and they care more for prisoners more than staff , you have a younger staff group and they throw you under the bus with anything , stay well clear
