Have you got previous experience in Security, Policing or the Armed Forces and looking for a new direction but not ready to take the leap? Look at our Bank opportunities for Bank Police Custody Detention Officers.
Are you interested in working within the criminal justice system? In a core role support the police.
We are looking for people who want to make a difference working alongside the Police in custody suites, caring for detainees — supporting them during their time in custody and working with other agencies to support detainees' rehabilitation.
Previous experience working within the police, security, or armed forces would be beneficial, but full training will be provided. You will be expected to complete national Police Vetting prior to starting the role, and you will be paid for the days you attend the ITC course.
The custody suites can be an energetic place to work, with no two shifts the same. While detained, we provide individuals with all their physical, mental healthcare and well‑being needs. As well as escorting detainees and making recorded observations as per their individual plan, you’ll work with colleagues and the Police to deal with any detainee that is a risk of harming themselves.
Mitie Care & Custody is the market‑leader in outsourced Police services in the UK. Our philosophy is all about delivering the Exceptional Every Day to the people in our care whilst providing you training, development, and career opportunities, and that can often mean valuable experience if you want to eventually join the Police force.
