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.

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.
