Operational Support Staff

HMP Durham

Up to GBP18,726 (includes additional allowance and unsocial hours) + excellent benefits

Keeping a prison running smoothly and safely takes many things. Good judgement, common sense and responsibility to name a few. Above all, though, it takes teamwork. And as part of our Operational Support team you'll be right at the heart of it.

Working in a busy, professional environment, and operating on a shift-pattern that will include some night work, you'll support the day-to-day running of the establishment. Unlike our prison officers, you'll have relatively limited contact with prisoners themselves. Instead your role will see you involved in everything from patrol and gate duties to managing deliveries, supervising visitors, monitoring phone calls and CCTV.

In return you'll receive a good salary, Civil Service pension, season ticket loan, the opportunity to join a 14-month funded apprenticeship qualification and many other benefits. To see if you have the natural strengths and preferences to become part of the operational support team, start your application by registering your details and completing our game- based assessment online. If successful, you will be invited for an interview with us.

If you're looking for an opportunity to be part of a friendly team that has a big influence on the day to day operation of a prison, find your perfect role here.
