Leadership Development Programme

Two years to become a leader. That’s 3,760 hours to reduce the £18 billion cost of reoffending. One funded master’s degree. 4.7 million steps on a prison wing working with some of society’s most vulnerable people. 7,050 doors and countless windows of opportunity unlocked. One opportunity to change society. And zero regrets. As frontline prison officers, graduates on Unlocked’s Leadership Development Programme make it count.

We don’t expect you to have all the answers when you apply, but you will need to show that you have the potential to develop each of the attributes to a high standard, from resilience, decision-making through to relationship building.
