    Tackling the prison recruitment crisis, with Natasha Porter and Annick Platt
    Oct 25 2022
    In the current labour market, recruitment is difficult. Vacancies have started to drop after the post-pandemic job boom, but employers are still struggling to hire.

The justice sector is one of the worst affected areas, with the leaving rate of prison officers reaching a new all-time high of 15.3% earlier this year. What can be done to make working in prisons a more visible and attractive career path? Natasha Porter, founder and CEO of Unlocked Graduates, and Novus’ director of operations Annick Platt join host Steve Exley to discuss the challenges ahead – and what can be done to overcome them.
