HMP Chelmsford is recruiting prison security escorts for a temporary long-term role based at the prison on Springfield Road.

The job pays £13.16 an hour, or £17.50 for overtime above 39 hours weekly, with 33 days' holiday per year and typical hours of 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday.

Prison Security Escorts work alongside the prison service to oversee contractors carrying out maintenance inside the prison. This includes tradespeople such as carpenters, plumbers and electricians. Responsibilities include checking contractors' identification, ensuring they have been briefed on security measures, booking them in and out, and creating lists of their tools.

Workers must escort contractors through the prison to their place of work and remain with them while maintenance work is completed. They must also verify that contractors' tools are accounted for before they leave an area and use a radio to request permission when moving contractors around the prison.

Candidates should have good communication skills, excellent attention to detail and be safety conscious. Applicants must have been living in the UK for the past three or more years. Successful candidates will need to complete security vetting due to the nature of the working environment.
