Be that person who makes a difference every day, the chance to do an extraordinary job

Prison Custody Officers are key to the effective running of our prisons and we are looking for people who can fit naturally into this role. There is no such thing as a 'typical' Prison Custody Officer (PCOs). We encourage applications from individuals from a diverse range of backgrounds, who can demonstrate the integrity, resilience and strong communication skills needed to thrive in this role. No specific qualifications or relevant experience is required.

The philosophy of our prisons is to rehabilitate prisoners and equip them to re-integrate into mainstream society on release. We seek to normalise prison conditions as far as possible to reflect life in the outside community. Our aim is to create an environment in which staff and prisoners feel safe.

The people in your care will have a variety of different needs and it will be your role to ensure those individuals are treated with dignity and respect and helped to find a new way of life whilst maintaining a safe, secure and structured environment.

You will play a key role in providing prisoners with structure and routine, making sure they get to work in the morning within the Prison, are actively engaging in education or work and the prison regime and are secure in their cell in the evening.

The Ideal Candidate:

When you join us, you can be sure that you'll find a secure, friendly and professional working environment and be given all the support, training and encouragement you need. In addition, we have recently launched our Development Pathway, which provides clear career development from Prison Custody Officer through to middle manager, should that also be of interest to you.

Your initial training course (ITC) for a minimum of 10 weeks, where you will receive comprehensive training, which includes Control & Restraint, First Aid, Interpersonal skills and Health & Safety, including a shadowing period working alongside qualified PCOs to gain real on the job experience. As part of your new role with us, you will undertake a Level 3 custodial management qualification. The programme runs in parallel with your ITC and you will be supported through the programme by an experienced Coach, as well as through a mentoring programme and line management support. On completion, you will obtain a recognised Custodial Qualification, which will support your role and career development.

As a PCO you will work a variety of shifts, including weekends, evenings and nights. All shifts are on a rolling pattern and agreed in advance. Any change to shift patterns will be communicated clearly with a minimum of 30 days notice. We are committed to supporting individuals to achieve a positive work life balance and on successful completion of their ITC will consider any Flexible Working Requests.

Equality and Diversity is an important part of G4S Care and Rehabilitation Services. We actively encourage applications from all backgrounds and are a fully inclusive employer who aims to support all employees to be their true selves. We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments for either the role or during the recruitment process.

G4S CaRS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of children and adults at risk and each employee is expected to support these goals.

Our training and operational practices emphasise the need to treat prisoners with dignity and respect and G4S staff build positive and supportive relationships with the prisoners in their care.

Our team has a real opportunity to make a difference and we encourage people to improve the way we operate and develop new ways of working to improve safety and better support prisoners. If you join us, you'll find a secure, friendly and professional working environment and be given all the support, training and encouragement you need to build and develop a successful career with us.
