Prison Officers: Recruitment

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many staff have been employed by the National Offender Management Service with responsibility for processing the recruitment of prison officers at each grade in each year since 2010.

Answer

HMPPS staff working on recruitment of prison officers also work on a range of other initiatives and it is not possible to identify work on prison officer recruitment from other duties. Recruitment services are also provided to HMPPS by contracted suppliers including Shared Service Connect Limited.

The number of band 3-5 prison officers recruited in HMPPS (formerly NOMS) each year since 2010 can be found in table 8a in the HMPPS workforce statistics, which is available at the following link:
