Overview of the job

This is a non-operational job in an establishment.

The job holder will be responsible for providing supervision, knowledge and skills to prisoners in non-specialist workshops where no qualifications are being delivered and nor is the job holder deployed in training prisoners up to the required level to gain qualifications.

This job description is not designed for use by job holders in specialist workshops as the role will not be required to be qualified in a specialist area or to train prisoners up to the required level to gain qualifications. In these circumstances Specialist Production Instructor should be used.

Although this is a non-operational job in an establishment with no line management responsibilities the job holder will have workshop and prisoner management responsibilities.

This is a rotational role.

Summary

The job holder will be committed to prison workshops being places of structure and discipline. The job holder will, as far is reasonably practicable, provide the prisoner with a work experience in workshops that better mirrors the employment experience outside of prison.

The job holder will ensure that all services are provided to a high standard and that security and control are maintained at all times.

On an exceptional short term basis. job holders can supervise prisoners in more specialist workshops. For example:

• Emergency, an unforeseen or sudden occurrence, especially of danger demanding immediate action.
• Ad-Hoc use of an Instructor in staffing HMPPS workshops only and not workshops or classrooms normally staffed by employees of any provider other than HMPPS.
• Short Term, timeframe 1-5 days, to allow management to put in alternative measures to resolve a workshop staffing problem that did not exist more than 48 hours before.
