• Work collaboratively with colleagues to provide a reliable Stores service for the wider prison.

 

What you will bring

Essential:

• 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.

  Desirable:

• Previous experience in a Stores, stock-control, warehouse or similar environment.
• Knowledge of safe manual-handling practices.

  We welcome applications from a diverse range of candidates.   If you have most, but not all, of these skills and experiences, we encourage you to apply. We may be able to offer development or training to support your growth.
