Re: Reality of the job
Hi jcox how are you? Yeah about 7k year 1 and 5k after. That’s gross pay though. That also includes a lot of compulsory overtime as well so when broken down it’s not as bad as it seems. It must be rough feeling the way you do but there is always a way back when it’s a more viable option. I’m lucky ...

Re: Reality of the job
Dartsrob, I tried sending you a PM but it won’t let me... I recall you saying you are taking a pay cut joining the prison service, do you mind me asking how big of a pay cut? Reason I ask is that I was going to take a very large pay cut to join the service but had to pull out at the last minute due ...

Re: ARC Results
Seems like the whole process has taken some steps backwards. Looking back to posts a couple of years ago people were taking 12/13 weeks for vetting I think I read one that took 6 months!! Then when I went through it was done within I think 2 weeks now it’s gone back to several weeks.

Re: take home pay
Thanks for the support guys, means a lot. The recent pay freeze announcement was another kick in the teeth really, prison officers are not appreciated for what they do and what they sacrifice to do the job. Potentially not spending Christmas with family, assaulted, potted and the unsociable hours. I...

However, since i started my application last year my circumstances have now changed and due to the pay I can no longer ...
