Full job description

Location: Truro TR1 2PB

Join us a Prisoner Custody Officer (PCO) in Prisoner Escort Custody Services (PECS) where you’ll play a key role in helping keep the justice system safe and secure. In addition to job security and stability we offer:

Salary: £24,596 (35hrs pw), rising to £25,555 from 1st September 2026

We operate 24/6 across early and late shifts, so flexibility is essential. Finishing times can be unpredictable, and you may need to work beyond your contracted hours to meet operational demands. Shifts are set on a rota provided 12 weeks in advance, giving you visibility to plan ahead. Part-time working may be considered, but this must be across full working days, as reduced daily hours are not available.

Keep people safe. Keep justice moving.

As a PCO, you’ll work as part of a team to deliver safe and secure escorting and custody services, ensuring detainee welfare at all times during court proceedings. You’ll be responsible for detainees throughout court proceedings until their return to custody or release. Key duties include:

Escorting detainees within the court, including to courtrooms, cells, and facilities
Supervising detainees during hearings to maintain safety and security
Managing sensitive situations and maintaining strict confidentiality
Supporting detainee welfare, including access to food, drink, and wellbeing checks
Monitoring behaviour and responding to incidents or risks
Conducting searches to maintain a secure environment
Completing accurate records and documentation
Working closely with court staff and partners to ensure smooth operations

What you need to do the job!
Our PCO’s come from a wide range of backgrounds—what matters most is your commitment to making a difference. You’ll receive full training through a 5½-week paid training course, plus ongoing support from experienced colleagues. Requirements of the role:

Full UK driving licence (B/B1) (desirable)
Reasonable fitness for the physical demands of the role
Strong communication skills (written and verbal)
Ability to stay calm and make decisions under pressure
Confidence managing behaviour and de-escalating conflict
Teamwork and the ability to follow processes accurately
Professionalism, integrity, and respect for confidentiality

What we offer

Holidays: 20 days (rising to 25 after 7 years’ service) plus bank holidays (pro rata’d)
Pension: Up to 6% contributory pension scheme (matched by Serco)
Training and development: Structured induction (5½ weeks), ongoing learning, access to internal courses and qualifications, mentoring, and a strong focus on internal progression
Health and wellbeing: Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), support from mental health charity MIND, Simply Health cash and dental plans, wellbeing resources, discount on membership at Serco-run gyms
Discounts: Savings across major retailers and experiences, including Merlin attractions, cinema, leisure, retail, hospitality, mobile plans, and more

Virtual assessment: Competency based interview, short roleplay and written exercise (online)
Initial right to work and vetting documentation checks
Job offer and confirmation of your training start date

This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. All roles are subject to random alcohol and drug testing.

This role is not eligible for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship under current UK Home Office regulations. You must have the right to work in the UK. If you do have a visa, it must have at least two years remaining, and you must have at least one year’s UK residency (to enable required counter signatory checks by a recognised professional).
