About the Role
At the Dame Phyllis Frost Centre (DPFC), each Justice Officer role specialises in one of four streams - Records/Property, Human Resources, Finance/Stores/Canteen and Administration. Over time, and with appropriate support and training, Justice Officers may be rotated between these streams to provide career enhancement opportunities to those staff, and operational flexibility to the prison.
