Watton, United Kingdom Serco Plc Full time

**Base Location**: Watton Vehicle Base, IP25 6JB

Permanent roles offering job stability & security

We are operational 24/6 and you’ll cover various early and late shifts (minimum of 40hrs pw) including bank holidays (apart from Christmas Day and Good Friday). Roles at our bases start from 6.30am and due to the nature of the role, the finish time is not known, therefore flexibility is key in this role, as it is likely that you will work more than the contractual 40-hour week. Whilst it is rare, there can be occasions that you will be required to work in the evening and possibly overnight. However, we operate a rota basis (provided 12 weeks in advance) that allows you the flexibility to enjoy meaningful time off to do the things you enjoy & love.

**About the Role**:
As a PCO at our base, you’ll work as part of crew to provide safe and secure court transportation & custody services. You’ll collect detainees from prisons or police stations and transport them safely and securely to courts whilst ensuring the care of their physical and mental wellbeing.

Once you arrive at court, you’ll be responsible for every aspect of their care until it’s time for them to return to custody or be released. Key duties include, accompanying defendants in court rooms and cells; searching property or people; ensuring food and drink is available and completing paperwork and data entry for the day.

What you need to do the job
Our current PCO’s come to us with different work & life experiences, what you’ve done before doesn’t matter, what matters is that you’re committed to making a difference to the lives of others - the rest you will learn during your 5 1/2-weeks training course and through our experienced colleagues.

You’ll need to hold a current driver's license, C1 License (valid CPC card desirable) / D License (with valid CPC card & Tacho Graph desirable). You must be reasonably fit and have good written and verbal communications skills, using those skills to manage and control all situations. Our roles would suit those who have a particular interest in criminology or psychology.
