Raise your awareness of how to planning for your future career at HMPPS.
There are sessions available that cover:
- The written application process
- Writing personal statements
- Preparing for blended interviews
- Situational Judgement Tests and how they work in the Civil Service
Thinking about applying for a new role, a different challenge or have an interview coming up?
I have run 2 workshops to help demystify the process to get you started, The first session is an 'Overview of Success Profile and getting started with Applications' and then a follow up session 'Getting Ready for an Interview' these have been recorded and are hosted below.
I also run them regularly across the year - Let me know if you would like to attend a live session to have help from me and the other delegates, Success Profile Training Request – Fill out form

Do your research about the roles you are interested in
To find out more information about the roles you are interested in you can access the Career Pathways document. It covers most of the roles in HMPPS, divided into job families and then Operational and Non operational roles. You will also see the link to the Job Description - which will describe the Success Profile and requirements for the role (strengths will not be advertised) you can then tailor your development to the requirements of the new role.
Take a look at the Career Pathway Document (must be logged onto justice)
Set up a job search alert
Take a moment to go to justice jobs website (or Civil Service Jobs) and see what roles are available, set up a new alert - you will then hear of jobs which have been launched on a daily basis/ weekly basis. Roles are usually advertised for a 2 week period, the closing date will clearly be described.
Do not wait until the closing date to start your application - they take longer than you think.
