Mitie Care & Custody are responsible for delivering the end to end management of all residents' needs until the outcome of their case is decided by the Home Office.

This is balanced against the competing pressures of safety, security, welfare needs and regime.


We operate in a high risk, high profile and heavily regulated environment engaging with numerous stakeholders including the Home Office and Medical Service delivery partners.

In delivering our services, we help residents understand what happens next, provide an environment for them to engage in activities relevant to them and create an environment in which they can reach out for support whilst building positive staff-resident relationships.

If you're the right one for us, your strong communication & interpersonal skills, non-judgmental approach, excellent problem-solving skills and ability to keep calm under pressure will be the foundations to develop your Care & Custody career.


Your working time will require you to be fully flexible to cover both day shifts with varying start and finish times and nights shifts.


No specific role experience or qualifications are required to be a DCO as full training and supported development are given.

You'll begin your Care & Custody career completing a 7-week classroom-based initial training course (ITC), continuing your development over the next 12 months with on-the-job mentoring.
