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 to managing deliveries, supervising visitors, and monitoring phone calls and CCTV. It’s a varied and active job involving tasks that combine desk duties with physical activities like 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 need good judgment, common sense, and be a great team player.
As an OSG, you will work a variety of shifts, including weekends and nights, to ensure continuous operation.
This role offers a unique opportunity to protect the public and make an impact on lives by supporting daily work in our prisons.
Your contact with prisoners is limited, although you may interact with them occasionally depending on the prison.
The OSG role provides significant knowledge and experience of prison operations and can lead to other prison jobs, including applying for the OSG to Prison Officer conversion scheme.
What you can expect from us:
You will receive excellent 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
