New Public Competition Was Announced by the Government of Espírito Santo for the Position of Penal Officer. The Salary Includes Base Salary and Food Allowance, and the Complete Edital Will Be Published Soon. Position Requires High School Education and Type B Driver’s License or Higher.

Good news for those looking for stability and a fixed salary: the Government of Espírito Santo has just announced a public competition with 600 vacancies for the position of penal officer, a role previously known as prison agent. And the best part: it requires only a complete high school education and offers an initial salary of R$ 4,715, including base salary and R$ 600 for food allowance.

The work schedule is 40 hours a week, and the minimum requirement is to have completed high school and possess a Type B driver’s license or higher. The role will focus on the prison system of Espírito Santo, ensuring safety and monitoring of inmates in the state’s prisons.

Public Competition Strengthens Security and Generates Jobs with Stability

The new selection aims to reinforce the staff of the State Secretariat of Justice (Sejus), which faces a shortage of staff in the prison units. According to the Sindicato dos Policiais Penais do Espírito Santo (Sindppenal), ideally, between 1,200 and 1,500 new agents should be hired, indicating that the new batch of 600 vacancies could be just the beginning of something larger.

This public competition will be an important gateway for those seeking stable employment, good pay, and legal benefits such as statutory regime, career plan, and special retirement.

What Is Known So Far About the Competition?

The complete edital has not yet been published, but the selection process is expected to follow a similar standard to the 2012 competition, which also offered 600 vacancies. At that time, more than 38,000 people applied, demonstrating the high interest in the career.

The expected stages include:

  • Objective test with questions on general and specific knowledge
  • Essay
  • Physical Aptitude Test (TAF)
  • Medical and psychological evaluation
  • Social investigation
  • Training course with in-person activities

Candidates who self-declare as black will undergo a heteroidentification procedure, as provided by law.

How Much Does a Penal Officer Earn in ES?

The announced starting salary is R$ 4,715, which includes:

  • Base salary of the category
  • Food allowance of R$ 600
  • Possibility of additional pay for time of service and bonuses

The employee can advance in their career through functional progression and qualification, with stability guaranteed by a statutory regime.

How to Prepare for the Public Competition?

The tip is to start studying now, even before the edital is published. Based on the previous competition, the most frequently tested subjects were:

  • Portuguese
  • Logical reasoning
  • Basic law (constitutional, criminal, and administrative)
  • Current events
  • Specific knowledge about the prison system

Those who are already in a study rhythm can get ahead when the official schedule is announced.
