**Prisoner supervision**

**Phone calls**
- monitoring the prison’s Personal Identification Number (PIN) phone system
- maintaining the log of PIN phone requests from prisoners
- completing relevant records

**Procedures and protocol**
- understanding and conforming to national and local policies, responding appropriately to incidents and emergencies

You don’t need any qualifications to do this job. Helping to keep a prison running smoothly and safely requires good judgement, common sense, responsibility and, above all, teamwork.
