You will operate and maintain all computer systems in the department and maintain cleanliness and hygiene standards in residential areas. At times you may be required to drive prison vehicles depending on the area you will be operating in on your shift.

Due to the nature of the role, it is important to display a common-sense approach to your workload, with the capacity to make reasonable decisions and lead by example.
