Job summary

The Home Office works to build a safe, fair and prosperous UK. We achieve this through our work on counter-terrorism, policing, crime, drugs policy, immigration and passports.

Immigration Enforcement is responsible for enforcing the governments immigration laws, tackling illegal migration, removing foreign national offenders and immigration offenders from the UK. We also aim to disrupt the organised criminal groups that exploit the vulnerable for their personal gain. Learn more on our careers pages.

As a key member of the Detention Engagement Team based at Campsfield Immigration Removal Centre (IRC), you will work directly with individuals being held securely while their case is progressed.

Your role involves face-to-face engagement with them about their return, ensuring they understand the process and steps required to bring their case to a conclusion. You will also be responsible for monitoring and supporting their welfare, raising concerns promptly, ensuring access to information and services, and contributing to a safe, professional and respectful environment within the centre.

In this role youll be making a genuine difference, supporting vulnerable people at a difficult point in their lives while helping to maintain safe, lawful and effective immigration controls for the UK.

Job description

Serving as a Detention Engagement Officer means that each working day brings new and different experiences.

Your role is multifaceted and will involve face-to-face engagement with detained residents, supporting them to understand their case and ensuring they receive clear information at the right time. You will provide steady, practical guidance that helps them move through the immigration process in a safe, lawful and timely way.

As a key point of contact, youll help maintain strong links between residents, their case working teams, on-site healthcare and other service providers, making sure communication is consistent, accurate and dependable.

Because much of your work is people-facing and often sensitive, you will need to be a calm, confident communicator who can build trust quickly and maintain professionalism and integrity, even in challenging situations.

The role and the environment can be demanding so youll need to bring resilience and a confident approach. Youll operate within a secure facility. Youll encounter emotionally charged moments and challenging behaviour, but you wont face them alone. With comprehensive training and a strong, supportive team around you, youll quickly build the confidence and assurance needed to handle complex situations professionally and safely. You also need to be aware that the role can be physically demanding as youll spend much of your day on the go.

These roles are based at Dungavel IRC, which is accommodation for adult male and female residents who are either foreign national criminals, immigration offenders, illegal small boats arrivals or failed asylum seekers. It has about 200 bed spaces. More information can be found here.

Please note the centre is located in Strathaven approximately 60 minutes from Glasgow, and is a multi-level building with no lift access so you must be comfortable using stairs throughout your shift.

Responsibilities

Duties include but are not limited to:

Conducting face-to-face engagement with residents: Managing interactions with a portfolio of residents, delivering inductions, serving official paperwork and providing clear explanations to help them understand the next steps in their case, which include returning to their country of origin and the consequences of non-compliance.
Supporting vulnerable people: Working collaboratively with all stakeholders to support and signpost vulnerable people.
Being the onsite link: Working collaboratively with caseworking teams, healthcare providers and the IRC supplier to resolve issues relating to case progression quickly and professionally.
Undertaking information gathering and record keeping: You will need to take an unbiased and methodical approach to information gathering. Daily interactions and case updates should be logged promptly and accurately, providing a clear audit trail on Home Office IT systems to support case progression and the smooth running of the team.
Working safely and professionally: Acting professionally and with integrity, following security, safeguarding and confidentiality requirements at all times.
General administrative duties: This includes inbox management and answering phone calls.

Working patterns

This role is available on a full-time basis. This role is also suitable for part-time working hours, with a minimum requirement to work three full shifts (22.2 hours) per week across the full range of shifts. Please note that full shifts will be required even if a part time contract is sought.

You are required to be available for all scheduled shifts and will not have the option to select specific shifts.

Training

You will receive full training and support to do the job. Training takes place initially in the classroom and then continues on the job with a mentor who supports you until you are fully confident in the role. Even then you are never alone; you work as part of a team where there is always someone around for advice and support. This includes our strategic partners Mitie who are responsible for the day-to-day running of the Centre, including the safety and security of staff and residents. Once confident in the role there will be further opportunities for professional development.

Further information on what the training involves can be found on our website.

Please note that candidates will need to complete Public and Personal Safety Training (PPST) level 2 for this role.
