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 individual’s 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. The company recognises, values, and rewards the hard work of its employees, providing great professional development and career progression opportunities as well as a great range of perks and support for wellbeing."
