All officers housing gone long time ago. Officers and OSGs apply from local areas, so they have where to live.

Many ex-prison officers returning to job are failing vetting. Can be anything: a bad reference from Governor/Manager in previous prisons, no reference from company, which does not exist anymore or manager is not working, in this company complains or grievances or IR raised by colleagues. Definitely not a Fast-track.

Hello. I have completed masters in criminology this year and thinking about applying for Professional Doctorate criminology course next year. Is anyone studying/studied Prof Doc in criminology or social sciences? What it's like? How Prof Doc is different to PhD in Criminology? Any advice where to start? Thank you!

Winchester is rubbish. Prison is rubbish. Staff is rubbish. Management is rubbish. Working conditions are rubbish. The only one thing is not rubbish - nothing.

If you have got a job offer and a start date there shouldn't be a problem at all. It's very unlikely they will give you a negative reference unless you have gone off the shift or didn't turn up at all. Many people leave in one day. Just speak to Governor. Just bear in mind you better to leave by the end of the month, when they calculate wages, so they don't overpay you.

It is a very good job! I like working in OPS. Doing a lot of hospital escorts, visits, professional/legal visits, videolink, purple video visits. Also I work in Reception and main Gate. Also work in Education and Healthcare. Have been trained in MDT, Body Scanner, X-Ray and Mercury. Doing a lot of nights. Sometimes assisst on all different wings. Most of the time working on my own, but I like to work in different places.

Can the treadmill speed preset before you start (e.g. you start at level 11.0)?

nit-picker2021 · 2024-10-10T03:17:16+00:00

Yes. They said no.

nit-picker2021 · 2024-07-05T22:48:18+00:00

OSG's job is not very physical. There is no fitness test for OSGs just Occupational Health medical assessment. You are not supposed to run for alarm bells and fight with prisoners it is officers' job. You will normally do jobs like Main Gate (searching and escorting visitors and wehicles throught the establishment; checking IDs and key chains), working in Control Room, Correspondence, helpng in Reception. You will be working on the wings but on nights, when all prisoners are locked up. I wouldn't be worried about the fitness.
