Job Description:

Operational Support Grade

His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service.

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 to managing deliveries, supervising visitors, and monitoring phone calls and CCTV. It’s a varied job involving tasks that combine desk duties with physical tasks such as lifting, carrying, and walking to accompany vehicles across the prison grounds.

Someone like you

You don’t need any qualifications for this job, but if you are a good communicator and can keep calm under pressure, this fast-paced role could be the start of a successful career for you.

Helping to keep a prison running smoothly and safely, you will have good judgment and common sense, and, above all, be a great team player.

As an OSG, you will work a variety of shifts, including weekends and nights, to keep things running.

An extraordinary job

In this unique career, you’ll have the opportunity to protect the public and make an impact on lives by supporting the important work happening daily in our prisons.

Unlike our prison officers, your contact with prisoners is limited, although you may interact with them occasionally depending on the particular prison.

The 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: You’ll be given great training and opportunities for progression and development.

In addition to your base pay, you will receive:

• Annual leave of 25 days on appointment, increasing 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

If this sounds like you, apply now.
