- reporting any contraband items, preserving evidence where needed

**Night duties**
- ensuring cell doors are locked and all prisoners are safely accounted for

**Reception**

- processing prisoners’ property and parcels coming into the prison

**Prisoner supervision**
- sometimes supervising prisoners

- helping prison officers escort prisoners around the prison

**Food delivery**

**Driving duties**

- collecting mail from the local sorting office, which may involve lifting heavy sacks

**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
