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 all sorts of things – 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 which combine some desk duties with more physical tasks such as lifting, carrying and walking to escort vehicles across the prison grounds.
Someone like you:
* 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 judgement and common sense, and, above all, be a great team player.
* As an OSG, you will work a variety of shifts, including weekend and night shifts, to keep things running.
* Unlike our prison officers, your contact with prisoners is limited, although depending on the particular prison you may interact with prisoners occasionally.
* The OSG role will give you significant knowledge and experience of how a prison operates and can provide opportunities to move into other prison jobs, including opportunities to apply for the OSG to Prison Officer conversion scheme.
In this unique career, you’ll have the opportunity to protect the public and make an impact on lives by supporting the important work happening daily in our prisons.
What You Can Expect From Us
You’ll be given great training and opportunities for progression and development.
In addition to your base pay, you will receive:
* 25 days annual leave on appointment, increasing to 30 days after 10 years’ service (calculated on a pro‑rated basis)
* 9 days 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.
