About the Role
HMP Bullingdon | £29,432 | His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service
An extraordinary job. Done by someone like you.
As an Operational Support Grade, you will play a key role in supporting the day-to-day running of a busy prison. Your responsibilities will include:

Travel to Work

Fixed shift start/end times require reliable transportation. Please carefully assess the location and your transport arrangements before applying.
