Shift work

We operate 24/7, 365 days a year, so as a Field Monitoring Officer you'll be expected to work a range of shifts during the hours of 5pm-3am. This will include weekends and bank holidays, on a rotating roster pattern. Shifts are usually 5pm-1am, 6pm-2am, and 7pm-3am.

What you'll do:

  • Our Field Monitoring Officer role involves going into the homes of those on curfew, whether that's alone or alongside a colleague.
  • Then it'll be your responsibility to install, calibrate and decommission monitoring equipment, so that the person on curfew can be detected within the boundaries of their property.
  • You'll check and clean equipment when it's issued and on collection, and quarantine any equipment which needs to be held for evidence.
  • Responding to priority visits, you'll be there to address any incidents and liaise with the central office over any issues or subject breaches.
  • As you need to travel regularly and continuously throughout your shift, we'll provide you with your own company vehicle.

 

You'll keep track of equipment and make sure you complete paperwork in a timely and accurate manner. Following standard operational procedures, you'll ensure contract compliance is maintained always. You'll also help with ad-hoc duties and take part in meetings with both your team and your line manager. Occasionally, you might also need to attend court, but this is rare.

We operate 24/7, 365 days a year, so as a Field Monitoring Officer you'll be expected to work a range of shifts during the hours of 5pm - 3am. This will include weekends and bank holidays, on a rotating roster pattern and you can expect to work shifts similar to 5pm - 1am, 6pm - 2am, and 7pm - 3am.

Your experience will include:

  • Physical fitness and mobility is vital, as you'll be attaching and removing the curfew equipment.
  • With experience working in a customer facing role, you'll know how to deal with challenging conversations.
  • Your strong interpersonal and communication skills means that your standard of both verbal and written English is high.
  • You're able to work flexibly on a shift rota basis and you work well as part of a team and on your own.
  • It's essential that you have a full UK Driving Licence and at least a year of driving experience, so you can travel to the subjects' homes.
