Operational Support Grade
HMP Woodhill Driver
£27,840
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 performing various tasks – from security and searches at the gate, managing deliveries, supervising visitors, to monitoring phone calls and CCTV. It’s a varied role involving both desk duties and physical tasks such as lifting, carrying, and escorting vehicles across the prison grounds.
Travel to Work – Some prison establishments are in rural locations with limited public transport options. A driving licence and own transport are beneficial but not essential unless specified. Please consider the location and your transport options carefully, as shift start and finish times are fixed and punctuality is required.
Applicants must hold a Full, Valid UK Driving Licence including the D1 Vehicle Category, which allows you to drive vehicles with:
* No more than 16 passenger seats,
* A maximum length of 8 metres,
* A trailer up to 750kg.
You don’t need formal qualifications for this role. If you are a good communicator, can keep calm under pressure, and are a team player, this role could be the start of a successful career.
Supporting the smooth and safe operation of the prison, you will need good judgement, common sense, and teamwork. The role involves working various shifts, including weekends and nights, to ensure continuous operations.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to contribute to public safety and make a difference through supporting daily prison activities. Contact with prisoners is limited, although occasional interactions may occur depending on the prison.
The OSG role offers valuable knowledge and experience of prison operations and potential pathways into other prison roles, including the OSG to Prison Officer scheme.
What You Can Expect From Us
Excellent training, progression, and development opportunities await.
