Testimonials
What I love about working in a prison environment is that no 2 days are the same. You are a number of different roles such as counsellor adviser and at times the person that makes a difference in that individuals life.
There are also good career opportunities for an individual. I started as a supply tutor and I am now an assistant manager. At PeoplePlus you are given the opportunities to gain new skills and qualifications to enable you to be the best version of yourself.
I have been lucky enough to work in a number of roles within PeoplePlus within the prison education sector each of which has provided variety challenge and immense job satisfaction.
