Job Introduction
**At Sodexo, our purpose is to create a better every day for everyone to build a better life for all.**

As the global leader in services that improve the Quality of Life, we operate in 55 countries, serving over 100 million consumers each day.

Working with Sodexo is more than a job; it’s a chance to be part of something greater. You’ll belong in a company and team that values you for you; you’ll act with purpose and have an impact through your everyday actions. And for that you’ll receive an excellent benefits package including access to gym facilities on site, 28 days’ annual leave (inclusive of bank holidays) and a Blue Light card.

Sodexo are responsible for 6 prison sites across the UK and Scotland and HMP Lowdham Grange is our newest prison that we have just added to our portfolio

Sodexo’s vision for HMP Lowdham Grange is to develop a safe, stable, and progressive environment with modern facilities dedicated to reducing re-offending and enabling individuals to fulfil their potential. Every aspect of the prison is designed to help prisoners make meaningful progress in their sentence and personal development goals within a surrounding culture of rehabilitation.

Great Prison Custody Officers (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. Does this sound like something you’d like to be part of?

Key attributes we look for aren’t all about qualifications and employment history but more about who you are and the values you live by.
- Are you a dedicated person who is looking for a rewarding career?
- Are you reliable and quick to notice things?
- Do you treat people fairly and with respect?
- If you experience a challenging situation, are you able to rise to it?

These are all things that we look for and make the difference between a good and great PCO.

Main Responsibilities
**An environment like no other**

Working in a prison is unlike any other career. Your focus will be on escorting prisoners to their education classes, the gym or their day job. Keeping a watchful eye and an open mind on everything that is going on. The prison environment is their home, so you’ll be able to balance authority with natural empathy and respect.

**An incredible training programme**

Getting you up to speed and equipping you with the tools to do your job happens over an eight-week training programme. This is where you’ll develop the necessary skills to work independently as a Prison Custody Officer. And from shadowing more experienced colleagues, to understanding how to deal with conflict, you’ll be ready and prepared for every day going forward.

**An opportunity too good to miss**

Whatever your background, you could have an amazing future with us. If you can answer yes to the following questions, your career with us could be moments away:

- Are you a dedicated person who is looking for a rewarding career?
- Are you reliable and quick to notice things?
- Do you treat people fairly and with respect?
- If you experience a challenging situation, are you able to rise to it?

**Recruitment process**:

- You will be required to complete a mandatory 9-week training course. No annual leave can be taken during this period.
