His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service.
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’s a varied and active role involving desk duties and physical tasks such as lifting, carrying, and walking to escort vehicles across the prison grounds.
You don’t need any qualifications to do this job, but if you are a good communicator and can stay calm under pressure, this fast-paced role could be the start of a successful career. Helping to keep a prison running smoothly and safely, you will need good judgment, common sense, and be a great team player.
As an OSG, you will work various 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 difference by supporting daily activities in our prisons. Your contact with prisoners is limited, although some interaction may occur depending on the prison.
The OSG role offers valuable knowledge and experience of prison operations and opportunities to advance into other roles, including applying for the OSG to Prison Officer conversion scheme.
What You Can Expect From Us
You’ll receive comprehensive 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 the Civil Service pension scheme, season ticket loans, retail discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme, and a Cycle to Work scheme
