Future Prison Leaders Programme

Being a prison leader is an extraordinary job, and it can be done by someone like you. If the idea of leading teams through challenging situations while focusing on rehabilitation, protecting lives and maintaining security makes you tick, the Future Prison Leaders Programme is for you. 

The Future Prison Leaders Programme

This leadership programme like no other will see you fast-track your way from prison officer to a senior leader running your own prison department in just 3 years. With a comprehensive training programme and clear progression path, you will gain first-hand experience of working in a variety of roles and prisons to give you the skills and knowledge you’ll need to be a future prison leader. 

You can view webinars hosted by Governors who will provide more information on what it’s like working within a prison. Your first year will see you working on the frontline as a prison officer. This is where, alongside your leadership development, you will learn the realities of working on the ground and building positive and meaningful interactions with prisoners. With thorough training, you will progress into leadership roles in years 2 and 3. There will be places for up to 35 talented future leaders on this exclusive programme.
