HMP Addiewell recruitment
Can you make a difference at HMP Addiewell?
HMP Addiewell in West Lothian is the newest prison being built in Scotland; one which will make a real difference in creating a Safer Scotland.
Managed by Kalyx in a contractual relationship with the Scottish Prison Service, HMP Addiewell can house 796 male prisoners and employs around 350 people who share a set of values, the most important of these being a passion for the development of people, regardless of whether they are staff or prisoners.
HMP Addiewell, which opened in December 2008, is a learning prison clearly focused on learning, achieving relevant skills training and employability. The prison works with all areas of the wider community to ensure prisoners have the best possible chance of leading positive lives following release.
Our new recruits come from a diverse range of backgrounds and have a wide variety of skills and experience. They include people who already have prison or custodial experience, but also people with no previous experience who know how to communicate and get the best out of people, whilst having a genuine passion for helping to create a safer Scotland through the rehabilitation of prisoners.
Through our focus on learning and personal development, we are looking for people to join our team to learn, have other interests outside work and use their skills and interests to help develop others. For example, if you can speak more than one language you could share this knowledge with other staff and prisoners. The question we have for all new potential recruits is: Do you have that something extra to offer?
The roles we recruit to are as diverse and interesting as the people who perform them. Details of these roles can be found in the careers section of this website. Job advertisements will be posted on the vacancies section, however we are eager to hear from people at any time who are interested in working at HMP Addiewell.
