Any Prison Officers on here?
Hey there, applied to be a prison officer a few weeks ago and have just been invited to a recuritment assessement day.
Could anyone tell me what happens on one of these days, i've looked online and it says a bit, but i was wondering if any one whos actually been could give me a more detailed account?
Thanks in Advance

My old next door neighbour is an officer at Aylesbury young offenders inst and he had some very interesting stories. He's come home with cracked ribs before now.......
He's also told of some horror stories of what young kids have done that doesn't even make the news
Having said that, he does enjoy it!!!

I work in a similar work enviroment within police custody it is a real team job and you have to keep your wits about you. Some proper wrong uns in this world and you would be dealing with every kind of them on a daily basis..fights/self harm/suicide attempts , dirty protesters if things like this float the boat then its the job for you.
The assesment day is a basic muliple choice test, maths, problem solving etc, and then a face to face interview, questions about yourself, just to see your outlook on certain aspects and to gather a liitle insight about you.

I'm the other side of the fence, I work for the services company that does all the IT support for HMPS. Some of the things we've seen and get asked to setup, wow, make your eyes water.

Thanks for the advice peeps
I've applied for Lancaster Farms which is a young offenders one as my 1st choice, and 2 Adult prisons near Leyland.
The nearest assessment centre to me is Wakefield, was hoping it would be just down the road
Gonna book the latest assessment away as possible, give me more time to get fitter
*edit* feck - Wakefields all booked up, all the other options are in London Never been there b4
