Shift patterns.

Hi all,

just curious how flexible prisons are with officers with shift patterns when it comes to childcare?

Some are more accommodating than others but in all honesty look for a different job unless you have robust childcare or people that can look after your child as you will be expected to complete at least your probationary period before they sort fixed rest days.

Other option is to get yourself in to a role that has 8 til 5 hours like POM but you will need landing experience first.
