Applicants must be Ghanaian by birth, possess good character, and have no criminal record.

The Ghana Prisons Service is also seeking candidates for various roles, including General Duty Recruits, Tradesmen Recruits, Sportsmen/women Recruits, General Duty Graduates, and Graduate Professionals. Applicants should email their information to recruitment@ghanaprisons.gov.gh by August 13, 2024. Requirements include being a Ghanaian by birth, having a clean record, and meeting height and age criteria. The age range varies slightly, with a maximum of 33 years for most positions and 25 years for sports recruits.
All three services stress that they are equal opportunity employers and caution against using middlemen or agents, as such actions are at the applicant’s risk and may lead to legal consequences.
The deadline for all submissions is Tuesday, August 13, 2024. Applicants are reminded to ensure that their information is accurate and that all certifications are valid. Note that physical submission of application forms will not be accepted.
