The Irish Prison Service continually monitors staffing requirements and vacancies across the organisation, which arise as a result of multiple factors such as mobility, resignations, promotions and retirements. Recruitment campaigns are launched accordingly.

Previous Prison Nurse recruitment campaigns have resulted in the successful placement of Prison Nurses across the estate. Recruitment of Prison Nurses is currently live in conjunction with CPL Healthcare. Applications for the position of Prison Nurse can be made through the CPL website cplhealthcare.com/irish-prison-service-jobs/and recruitment is on a rolling basis.
