Employment at the prison is based around either education or the usual array of orderly jobs such as kitchen, domestic cleaners, clothing Exchange Party and the waste management party. There are opportunities allowing prisoners to develop mentoring skills, in particular prisoners play an important role within the Substance Misuse Unit. Orderlies also have key prisoner tasks within the establishment, e.g assisting with the delivery of the induction programme.
