• Supervise prisoners working within the Stores, maintaining clear professional boundaries and safe working practices.
• Collect items locally when required.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to provide a reliable Stores service for the wider prison.

What you will bring

• A full UK driving licence.
• Confidence and professionalism when working alongside prisoners and throughout a secure prison environment.
• Good IT skills, with the ability to maintain accurate stock records.
• A proactive, organised and dependable approach.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively with different colleagues and customers.
• Previous experience in a Stores, stock-control, warehouse or similar environment.
• Knowledge of safe manual-handling practices.
