What the role involves
The job is varied and active. Duties can include checking security at the gate, searching people and items, processing deliveries, overseeing visitors, and keeping an eye on phone activity and CCTV. The work combines office-based tasks with physical activity such as lifting, carrying, and walking prisoners to escort vehicles across the prison site.
About you
