OSG Escort, HMP Leyhill, full-time, long term temporary on an ongoing basis

Your new company
HMP Leyhill is a Category D Men’s Open Prison, and is based in Wotton-Under-Edge, South Gloucestershire. The prison is run by His Majesty’s Prison Service.

Your new role
In your new role as a Security Officer, you will be working alongside the operational security team. You will have many different responsibilities, which include escorting contractors as they carry out maintenance work around the prison, visitor and toolkit checks, main gate duties and vehicle searches. You will also ensure the safety of visitors when assisting them around the site, while making sure no unauthorised items enter the Prison.

Shift pattern: Monday – Friday, 8am - 4.30pm (1-hour lunch break). 37 hours per week, with opportunities for overtime.

It is a long-term temporary contract on an ongoing basis.

Your hourly rates are as follows and inclusive of holidays:
Standard: £13.10 P/ Hour
Weekday overtime: £17.41 P/ Hour
Weekend overtime: £22.92 P/ Hour

What you'll need to succeed
Your new role does not require any experience as full training is provided. However, a military or security background would be beneficial. You will need to have strong communication skills, be security conscious, and practical. In order to be successful, you'll also need to pass a security clearance procedure due to the nature of the role and provide references to cover the last 3 years of employment and character references to cover any gaps in employment.

What you'll get in return
You will receive, on the job, paid training. This role also gives you a unique opportunity to see the everyday running of prison life and could well lead to long-term employment opportunities with the prison service as an OSG or Prison Officer.
