You would also be expected to build rapport with all colleagues and visitors whilst remaining respectful. Overall, you would be an ambassador for HMP Altcourse and Sodexo, as you are the first and last person each visitor and member of staff will be on their visit.

Great PCOs are the backbone of our business and play an important part in the smooth operation of our prisons. Every PCO will play a key part in prisoners’ lives, offering them support and encouraging them to change their lives for the better.
