Register Your Interest – OSG-PO/YJW Fast Track INTERNAL TO HMPPS ONLY

It is now easier than ever to apply to become a prison officer or youth justice worker and progress your career

with the fast track application process exclusively for OSGs.

The next campaign will be launching in July so register your interest to find out more.

Brixton, Bullingdon, Bure, Coldingley, Elmley, Erlestoke, Exeter, Ford, Grendon/Springhill, High Down, Isis, Lewes, Pentonville, Rochester, Standford Hill, Wandsworth, Winchester and Wormwood Scrubs will not be participating on this occasion so you will be unable to apply to any of these prisons.

Role Type Operational Delivery, Prison Officer

Job Description One career, many roles

Role model, negotiator, referee, educator, influencer, life changer – as a prison officer, no two days are the same.

You will work with people from all kinds of backgrounds to create a safe and secure prison environment. You will support adult offenders with rehabilitation while protecting the public too. You will play a leading role in offenders’ lives, meeting regularly with a small caseload of 5-6 offenders. You will manage their development, from learning new skills to participation in education programmes, so there is a better chance they won’t reoffend on release.

You will also have the opportunity to grow your career, specialising in different areas such as negotiation, supporting prisoners at risk and resolving incidents.

It can be a tough job, but in return you will receive great pay, training, benefits and have the support of a strong team.

Existing prison officers are not eligible to apply for this campaign.

Eligibility

To be able to apply you must:

· Be a directly employed OSG, appointed through open and fair competition

· Have passed your six-month probation period

· Not be subject to any formal procedures which remove you from the avenue of promotion

· Not be subject to any formal procedures which remove you from having direct prisoner supervision

If you are employed on a fixed term contract basis, then you must have completed six months effective service and also been appointed through open and fair competition.

To be a prison officer you must:

· Be at least 18 years old

· Have the right to work in the UK (If you are not a UK or EU citizen, but you have approximately 30 months or more leave to remain in the UK entitlement at the point of application you may still apply)

· Be reasonably fit and have good eyesight

· Be able to speak with confidence in English or (when specified in Wales) Welsh

Essential skills

You don’t need qualifications to become a prison officer. Personal qualities are more important. You need to show:

· Good communication and influencing skills

· Commitment to quality

· Effective decision-making

· Care and understanding

Hours and pay

The initial training is 37 hours a week. After training, you can choose to work 37, 39 or 41 hours a week. Your annual salary will reflect your weekly hours.

This Vacancy is closed to applications.
