An extraordinary job. Done by someone like you.
As an Operational Support Grade, you will play a key part in supporting the day-to-day running of a busy prison. You will be part of a supportive team doing various tasks, from security and searches at the gate, managing deliveries, supervising visitors, to monitoring phone calls and CCTV. It is a varied and active job involving both desk duties and physical tasks such as lifting, carrying, and walking to accompany vehicles across the prison grounds.
You don’t need any qualifications to do this job, but if you are a good communicator and can keep calm under pressure, this fast-paced role could be the start of a successful career for you.
Helping to keep a prison running smoothly and safely, you will have good judgment and common sense, and above all, be a great team player.
As an OSG, you will work a variety of shifts, including weekends and nights, to ensure continuous operation.
In this unique career, you'll have the opportunity to protect the public and make a positive impact by supporting the important work happening daily in our prisons.
Unlike prison officers, your contact with prisoners will be limited, although occasional interactions may occur depending on the prison.
The OSG role will provide you with significant knowledge and experience of how a prison operates. It can open doors to other prison roles, including opportunities to apply for the OSG to Prison Officer conversion scheme.
What you can expect from us:
Great training and opportunities for progression and development.
In addition to your base pay, you will receive:
* 25 days of annual leave on appointment, increasing to 30 days after 10 years of service (pro-rata)
* 9 days of bank, public, and privilege holidays
* Access to a paid Level 2 apprenticeship in customer service
* Access to a generous Civil Service pension scheme, season ticket loans, retail discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme, and a Cycle to Work scheme
If this sounds like you, apply now.
