Prison Support Role
\
This is a unique and exciting opportunity to support the operational running of a busy prison.
\
As an Operational Support Grade, you will play a key part in supporting the day-to-day activities of the prison. This involves tasks that combine desk duties with more physical tasks such as lifting, carrying and walking across the prison grounds.
\
The role requires good communication skills and the ability to work well under pressure. 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.
\
You will have the opportunity to gain significant knowledge and experience of how a prison operates. This can provide opportunities to move into other prison jobs, including opportunities to apply for the OSG to Prison Officer conversion scheme.
\
We offer great training and opportunities for progression and development. In addition to your base pay, you will receive:
\
* Annual leave is 25 days on appointment and will increase to 30 days after 10 years' service (calculated on a pro-rata basis)
\
* 9 days bank, public and privilege holidays
\
* 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
\
* Driving duties are an essential part of the OSG role at Channings Wood and therefore candidates are required to hold a full, valid Driving Licence
