As a vital member of our team, 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 accompany vehicles across the prison grounds.
A great team player is needed who can keep calm under pressure and communicate effectively. No qualifications are required for this role, but having good judgement and common sense is essential.
The Operational Support Grade (OSG) role will give you significant knowledge and experience of how a prison operates. It can provide opportunities to move into other prison jobs, including opportunities to apply for the OSG to Prison Officer conversion scheme.
What you can expect from us:
1. You'll be given great training and opportunities for progression and development.
2. Annual leave is 25 days on appointment and will increase to 30 days after 10 years service.
3. 9 days bank, public and privilege holidays
4. Access to a paid Level 2 apprenticeship in customer service.
* Access to the generous Civil Service pension scheme season ticket loans, retail discounts, an Employee Assistance Programme and a Cycle to Work scheme
