Job Overview

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 various tasks – from security and searches at the gate, managing deliveries, supervising visitors, to monitoring phone calls and CCTV. It’s a varied and active role involving both desk duties and physical tasks such as lifting, carrying, and walking to escort vehicles across the prison grounds.

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need any qualifications to do this job, but if you are a good communicator and can stay calm under pressure, this fast-paced role could be the start of a successful career. You will need good judgment, common sense, and be a great team player. You will work a variety of shifts, including weekends and nights, to ensure the smooth operation of the prison.

Why Join Us

In this unique career, you’ll have the opportunity to protect the public and make a positive impact by supporting the important work done daily in our prisons. Your contact with prisoners will be limited, although occasional interactions may occur depending on the prison. This role offers valuable knowledge and experience of prison operations and potential pathways into other prison roles, including the OSG to Prison Officer conversion scheme.

What We Offer

• Annual leave of 25 days, increasing to 30 days after 10 years’ service (pro-rata)
• 9 days of bank, public, and privilege holidays
• Access to a paid Level 2 apprenticeship in customer service
• Additional benefits including a Civil Service pension scheme, season ticket loans, retail discounts, Employee Assistance Programme, and Cycle to Work scheme
