HM Prison and Probation Service: Vacancies
(asked on 21st April 2026) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many job vacancies there currently are in HM Prison and Probation Service.
This question was answered on 27th April 2026
His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) holds required staffing levels which are subject to regular amendment and managed at a local and regional level. As a result of this discretion, HMPPS does not present vacancy data due to variability in required staffing levels.
We do, however, publish indicative vacancies in the HMPPS Workforce and the most recently published figures can be found via the following link: HM Prison & Probation Service workforce quarterly: December 2025 - GOV.UK.
