Job Description

This is a non-operational job in an establishment. The job holder will be responsible for providing supervision to prisoners in the waste management and recycling environments within an establishment. They will be required to transfer knowledge and skills to prisoners to ensure safe and effective waste collection and appropriate disposal. Some waste management units (WMU) deliver qualifications (or training to an equivalent level). This work will be delivered by a Specialist Production Instructor (SPI) and not be undertaken by the job holder. Advising the establishment on waste/recycling practices, legislation and disposal, as well as compliance with the Circular Economy and Data Submissions, should also be completed by the SPI. Prisoners working towards a qualification in this area will be assessed by Specialist Production Instructors. However, the job holder may be required to input supportive statements into assessments. 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 non-rotational role.
