At His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service, we are looking for a dedicated individual to join our team as an Operational Support Grade. As an OSG, you will play a key role in supporting the day-to-day running of a busy prison.
You will be part of a supportive team, performing tasks such as security checks, managing deliveries, supervising visitors, and monitoring phone calls and CCTV. This is a varied and active role that involves a combination of desk duties and physical tasks, including lifting, carrying, and walking to accompany vehicles across the prison grounds.
No qualifications are required for this role, but you must be a good communicator and able to remain calm under pressure. If you have good judgement and common sense, and are a great team player, this could be the start of a successful career for you.
As an OSG, you will work a variety of shifts, including weekends and night shifts, to ensure the smooth running of the prison.
This is an extraordinary job that will give you significant knowledge and experience of how a prison operates. It can also provide opportunities to move into other prison jobs, including the OSG to Prison Officer conversion scheme.
We offer a range of benefits, including:
* 25 days annual leave, increasing to 30 days after 10 years' service (pro-rata)
* 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
If you are a motivated individual who is passionate about making a difference, we encourage you to apply.
