Prison Officer

A Career as a Prison Custody Officer at HMP Millsike
Make a Real Difference Every Day

Are you looking for a career with purpose, challenge and the opportunity to change lives?

At HMP Millsike, our Prison Custody Officers (PCOs) play a vital role in creating a safe, respectful and rehabilitative environment where individuals are supported to make positive changes in their lives.

This is far more than a security role. Every day, you'll have the opportunity to influence behaviour, support rehabilitation and contribute to a safer community.

No two days are ever the same. The role can be challenging, rewarding and incredibly meaningful, offering the chance to make a genuine difference whilst developing valuable skills and building a long-term career.

Why Join HMP Millsike?

HMP Millsike is one of the UK's newest prisons, designed with rehabilitation, wellbeing and reducing reoffending at its heart.
As part of Mitie Care & Custody, we're building a diverse team of people who bring empathy, professionalism, resilience and strong communication skills to work every day.

We're not looking for people with prison experience. We're looking for people with the right values and attitude.

Many of our colleagues have previously worked in:

• Retail
• Customer service
• Healthcare
• Social care
• Hospitality
• Education
• The Armed Forces
• Security
• Transport and logistics
• Administrative roles

Your life experience could make you an excellent Prison Custody Officer.

What Makes a Great Prison Custody Officer?

Successful Prison Custody Officers come from all walks of life, but they often share similar qualities:

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Resilience and determination
• Empathy and compassion
• Integrity and professionalism
• The ability to remain calm under pressure
• Confidence to challenge inappropriate behaviour
• Good judgement and decision-making skills
• A commitment to fairness, inclusion and teamwork

If you enjoy working with people, solving problems and making a positive impact, this could be the career you've been looking for.

What Does the Role Involve?

As a Prison Custody Officer, you'll play an important part in maintaining safety, supporting rehabilitation and helping people work towards a better future.

Your responsibilities may include:

Keeping People Safe

• Maintaining a safe and secure environment for prisoners, staff and visitors
• Conducting welfare and security checks
• Supervising prisoner movements and daily activities
• Responding professionally to incidents and emergencies

Supporting Rehabilitation

• Building positive professional relationships with prisoners
• Encouraging positive behaviour and challenging poor behaviour appropriately
• Supporting individuals through difficult situations
• Helping prisoners engage with education, work and rehabilitation programmes

Working as Part of a Team

• Working alongside healthcare teams, education providers and partner agencies
• Communicating effectively with colleagues and stakeholders
• Promoting safer custody and reducing violence within the prison
• Supporting the smooth delivery of the daily prison regime

One thing often surprises candidates: the role is much more about people than they expect.

Whilst security is a fundamental part of the role, much of your day will involve communication, problem-solving, relationship building and supporting positive change.

What Are the Challenges?

Prison environments can be demanding and unpredictable.
You may encounter challenging behaviour, difficult conversations or situations that require you to think quickly and remain calm under pressure.

However, teamwork is at the heart of everything we do. You will be supported by experienced colleagues, managers and trainers who want you to succeed.

What Are the Rewards?

Many of our Prison Custody Officers tell us the most rewarding part of the role is seeing the positive impact they have on people's lives.

You may help someone:

• Build confidence
• Engage with education
• Develop skills for employment
• Reconnect with family
• Make better choices for the future

Those moments matter, and they can have a lasting impact on both individuals and the wider community.

Full Training Provided

No previous prison experience is required.
If successful, you'll complete our fully-funded 9-week Initial Training Course (ITC) at HMP Millsike, designed to provide the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to succeed in the role.

Your Training Includes

7 Weeks Classroom-Based Learning

Covering key topics such as:

• First Aid at Work
• Communication and Interpersonal Skills
• Restorative Practice
• Conflict Management
• Control and Restraint Training

2 Weeks Practical Shadowing

You'll work alongside experienced Prison Custody Officers, gaining valuable insight into daily prison operations and building confidence in a real operational environment.

Following training, you'll continue learning and developing with support from experienced colleagues and managers.

What You'll Receive

We believe in recognising and rewarding our people.
As a Prison Custody Officer at HMP Millsike, you'll benefit from:

• Salary of £37,818.90
• 42 hours per week
• Comprehensive paid training programme
• Ongoing career development opportunities
• 33 days annual leave including Bank Holidays
• Health and wellbeing support services
• Free onsite parking, including EV charging points
• Free access to onsite gym facilities
• Free meal during shifts from our subsidised canteen
• Blue Light Discount Card eligibility
• Access to Mitie's MiDeals discount platform
• Salary Finance financial wellbeing support
• Flexible benefits through the Choices platform
• Recognition through the Mitie Stars reward programme

Could This Be Your Next Career?

Starting a new career can feel daunting, especially if you've never considered working within a prison before.

At HMP Millsike, we are looking for people with potential, not necessarily people with previous prison experience.

If you're resilient, professional, compassionate and looking for a career where you can genuinely make a difference every day, we'd love to hear from you.

Join Mitie at HMP Millsike and help shape futures, support rehabilitation and create safer communities.

Contract Manager

Commercial - Contract Management

Location: Reading, with free onsite parking.

Package: £47,760 to £65,000 (depending on your suitability and level of experience).

Working pattern: AWE operates a 9-day working fortnight, with every other Friday as a non-working day. This role is eligible for hybrid working, meaning employees typically spend three days on site in a long week and two days on site in a short week. We support flexible working where possible, including part-time and varied working hours, so please let us know if you would like us to consider an alternative working arrangement when you apply.

Ready to play your part?

At AWE, it's not just a job, it's far more than that. Our shared purpose is to help keep the nation safe. Could this role be the opportunity for you to play your part?

The role

As a Contract Manager, you will manage assigned infrastructure, engineering or service contracts through delivery, helping AWE achieve safe, assured and value-for-money outcomes. Working within an integrated project and commercial team, you will turn contractual commitments into practical delivery while keeping control of performance, risk, change and commercial records.

This hands-on role calls for commercial judgement within delegated authority, ownership of day-to-day contract activity and early escalation when specialist support or additional authority is needed. You will build constructive relationships with suppliers and colleagues, maintaining delivery while protecting AWE's commercial position.

What you will do

• Manage assigned NEC contracts across the delivery lifecycle, supporting the Project Manager and ensuring commercial controls are understood and applied.

• Administer contracts accurately and on time, including notices, records, work orders, variations, payments, forecasts, change control and governance submissions.

• Validate supporting information, challenge gaps constructively, and maintain clear, auditable contract records.

• Monitor supplier performance against milestones, service levels, and key performance indicators, using evidence to support constructive conversations.

• Identify and manage commercial risks, issues and opportunities, escalating matters proportionately.

• Work with project controls, finance, technical, legal and procurement colleagues on mobilisation, amendments, extensions, re-procurement and close-out.

• Contribute to assurance reviews, lessons learned and continuous improvement.

The role is focused on post-award commercial and contract management, working alongside procurement colleagues when pre-award or sourcing support is needed.

What success looks like in this role

We welcome applicants of all genders and backgrounds. Success will be demonstrated through behaviours:

Making effective decisions

• Uses evidence to support delivery, commercial and wider AWE objectives.

• Balances risk, assurance, value and pace, escalating decisions outside their authority or expertise.

• Take ownership and follow issues through to practical resolution.

Seeing the big picture

• Understands how contracts contribute to project, programme and organisational outcomes.

• Considers cost, schedule, quality, risk and supplier behaviour together.

• Anticipates emerging issues and acts early.

• Builds credible relationships while maintaining professional challenge.

• Handles disagreement constructively and involves senior commercial, legal or technical colleagues when needed.

Working together

• Contributes positively within an integrated delivery team and shares relevant information promptly.

• Supports consistent contract management standards, seeks input, and learns from experience.

Experience we are looking for

We are interested in your experience, judgement, and approach, not only formal qualifications. You will have practical experience in some of the following:

• Quantity Surveying experience in managing or administering infrastructure, engineering, or service contracts.

• Managing obligations, performance measures, payments, change, risk, governance, and commercial records.

• Using evidence and commercial data to inform decisions, reporting and supplier challenge.

• Collaborating with suppliers and multidisciplinary stakeholders to resolve issues and maintain delivery.

• Applying structured contract management processes in a regulated, controlled, or safety-critical environment.

• Understanding how pre-award commercial activity supports effective post-award delivery.

Transferable contract management experience, sound judgement, and a willingness to learn are equally valued.

Background and qualifications

We are not prescriptive about qualifications. Relevant experience in commercial, quantity surveying, contract management, procurement, project delivery, finance, engineering or law may provide a solid foundation. Professional membership or contract management accreditation is welcomed but is not essential.

Our commitment

We are committed to an inclusive recruitment process and welcome applications from women and men, and from people with diverse professional backgrounds and career paths. Selection will be based on the experience, judgement and behaviours needed for the role. If the opportunity interests you, but you are unsure whether you meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply.

We ask a lot and set the bar high because our work truly matters. In return we offer balance, with award winning benefits including:

• 9-day working fortnight - meaning you get every other Friday off work, in addition to 270 hours of annual leave.

• Market leading contributory pension scheme (we will pay between 9% and 13% of your pensionable pay depending on your contributions).

• Family friendly policies: Maternity Leave - 39 Weeks Full Pay and Paternity Leave - 4 Weeks Full Pay.

Senior Defence Systems Technologist

Use systems thinking and emerging technology to solve Defence challenges that matter. 

We're looking for an experienced Defence Systems Technologist who can turn complex operational problems into coherent, integrated and deliverable capability. You'll work with military users, programme teams, architects, engineers and senior stakeholders, connecting mission needs with the wider Defence technology ecosystem. 

This is more than a conventional solution architecture role. You'll combine mission understanding, systems thinking and sound technology judgement to clarify options, expose dependencies and help people make better decisions. Your architecture will not exist simply to create diagrams; it will help turn strategic intent into practical delivery. 

What you’ll do 

• Work with military users and stakeholders to understand operational needs, constraints and measures of success. 
• Apply systems thinking across people, processes, information, technology and organisations, decomposing complex requirements into capabilities, functions, services, systems and interfaces. 
• Develop mission, system and solution architecture views that show how capabilities fit within the wider Defence ecosystem. 
• Identify dependencies across networks, cloud, data, identity, security, gateways, infrastructure and related programmes, considering interoperability and information exchange from the outset. 
• Develop and assess technical options, making risks, trade-offs, gaps and opportunities for reuse clear to decision-makers. 
• Support governance, assurance, procurement and supplier discussions, while working with delivery teams to keep architectural intent achievable. 
• Explain complex technical issues clearly to technical and non-technical audiences and challenge assumptions constructively. 

We're interested in people who bring: 

• Experience of military or Defence systems gained through the Armed Forces, government, industry or a related environment. 
• Experience in systems engineering, architecture, mission engineering, capability development or technical consultancy. 
• Strong requirements capture, analysis and decomposition skills, with an understanding of system-of-systems environments. 
• The ability to move confidently between strategic intent and technical detail, build trusted relationships and facilitate productive workshops. 
• Strong technical judgement, intellectual curiosity and clear written and verbal communication. 
• Eligibility to obtain and maintain Security Check (SC) clearance, with the potential to obtain Developed Vetting (DV). 

Experience with Defence or NATO architecture frameworks, interoperability, coalition environments, secure information exchange, Cross-Domain Solutions, SysML, UML or ArchiMate would be useful, but it is not a checklist. We care most about how you think, how quickly you understand difficult problems and how effectively you connect operational need with technical reality. 

Broad technology awareness 

You'll maintain practical awareness of developments across military and commercial technology, including AI, cloud and edge computing, mission systems, data, cyber, identity, communications, autonomy, sensing, space and digital engineering. You do not need to be a specialist in every area. You should be able to test relevance, recognise hype, ask informed questions and know when specialist expertise is needed. 

About Darter 

At Darter, we help organisations tackle nationally important challenges across Defence, national security, government and technology. We combine strategic thinking with practical delivery to create lasting impact.  Our culture is collaborative, supportive and ambitious, grounded in excellence, empathy and integrity. 

What you’ll get 

• Meaningful work that contributes to the UK's security and resilience. 
• A supportive, values-led culture built on excellence, empathy, and integrity. 
• Salary of £90,000 - £120,000 depending on experience, performance and profit-share bonus, and share options plus;  
• Pension matched up to 10%. Private health insurance. Dedicated learning and development budget. Flexible, remote-first working. Unlimited holiday. Volunteering leave and matched charitable donations. 

Not ticked every box? We'd still love to hear from you. If you're excited by the opportunity to use technology to solve complex Defence challenges, please apply and start a conversation with us.
