Full Job Description
As a Prison Officer, you'll be at the forefront of ensuring the health, safety, and wellbeing of everyone around you. It's a job where your contribution really counts as you work to give prisoners structure within their lives, encourage positive choices, and support them on their journey to rehabilitation. Day to day you'll be involved in:
+ Supervising prisoners in all aspects of prison wing activity.
+ Overseeing work and education programmes, encouraging prisoners to participate.
+ Operational matters such as prisoner headcounts, prison cell searching, security, and administrative processes.
+ Managing prisoners who are at risk of self-harm.
We operate 24/7, all year round meaning you'll cover shifts on days, evenings, weekends, nights, and bank holidays. We value the importance of work-life balance, we operate on a rota basis that allows you the flexibility to enjoy meaningful time off to do the things you enjoy & love.
Preparing for your recruitment journey:
You'll be invited you to complete an online assessment. If you pass the initial online assessment, we will invite you to attend a virtual competency-based interview, Maths and English assessment. Once you have passed this assessment, we will invite you to HMP Fosse Way for a Welcome Briefing about the Prison and the role, a Group Session, Mobility Assessment and a Visit around the Prison.
Once you've passed assessment, we'll invite you to attend a 10-week Initial Training Course (ITC) at the Prison, which requires 100% attendance. This consists of 8 weeks classroom-based training and 2 weeks shadowing to give you a real taste of life on the job. The ITC provides high quality training, you'll complete a Diploma in Custodial Care, First Aid and undergo Control and Restraint training.
Why Serco?
+ Meaningful and vital work: Prison Officers are key to ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of prisoners, staff, and visitors in their prisons. More importantly they play a vital role in reducing reoffending rates amongst prisoners.
+ A world of opportunity : Our prisons hold a huge amount of variety and opportunity, with Officers being able to progress into Ops Management or specialist services such as Psychology, Education, Health, or the Animal unit.
+ Great people: Due to the investment in safeguarding and rehabilitation, our prisons are calmer and may be very different to what you might imagine, but you'll receive all the training and advice you need from friendly and supportive colleagues.
Please note that this position is based at HMP Fosse Way in Leicester, which has limited public transport options. Due to the nature of our shift patterns, we strongly encourage applicants to consider their commute time and transportation options before applying. Therefore, we recommend that candidates live within a 30 mile radius of the above location to maintain punctuality, work-life balance, and job satisfaction
+ This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, and all offers of employment are subject to security clearance checks, and satisfactory employment references. You'll be required to provide 5 years of employment and education history as part of these checks.
+ This role is not eligible for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship under current UK Home Office rules, as it does not meet the required salary or skill level criteria. Whilst we encourage applications to other roles, candidates who already have a valid right to work in the UK through other immigration routes or permissions must meet the below minimum eligibility criteria:
+ Have at least two years remaining on your current visa to ensure sufficient time in the role.
+ Have lived in the UK for at least one year, as the vetting process requires a counter-signatory from a recognised professional who has known you for that duration.
For general right-to-work guidance, please visit the UK Home Office website .
At Serco, not only is the nature of the work we do important, everyone has an important role to play, from caring for vulnerable people to managing complex public services. We are a team of 50,000 people responsible for delivering essential public services around the world in areas including defence, transport, justice, immigration, healthcare and citizen services. We are innovators, committed to redesigning and improving public services for the benefit of everyone.
Your starting salary will be £27,300 pa. increasing to £28,350 after 12 months and increasing again to £32,288 when you reach 3 years' service. We are fully committed to progressing you through your PCO Portfolio or PCO Apprenticeship which would increase your salary to £32,288 as soon as either of these is successfully completed which can realistically be achieved within 12 to 18 months of joining us. We also offer:
+ Opportunity to earn approximately £37,800 including overtime (Whilst we cannot guarantee overtime will always be available, this is based on an average of 4 hrs per week)
+ Clear career development pathways for you to transition quickly into operational management positions with salaries ranging from £36,000 to £42,000.
+ Free parking on site.
+ Free use of the gym.
