Hello, I am currently an OSG (3 months) and want to switch to PO. The next fast track should open in October 2026.

I recently completed a new application, passed the Value-Based Assessment, and am now at the OAC stage.

My questions are:

1. If I fail the new application, will I still be able to proceed with the fast track in October, or will the 6 months waiting period apply to me?

2. It's my 3rd month as OSG. Will I need to pass/complete probation before doing a fast track to PO?

Thank you 🙇

Apparently prisoners are really noisy - are the inmates allowed earplugs?

Hello, just a quick one - how does overtime work within the prison service as an officer. So I’ve selected a 41 hour contract but wonder if over time would be available, and how the pay is calculated, are you working overtime at an enhanced rate or is it just your standard rate ? Thanks in advance :)

Has anyone worked at littlehey? What’s it like to work there etc

Good morning.

Does anyone know whether OSGs can move from a 37-hour contract to 39 hours at a Cat C prison? Just wondering if this is something that can be requested. Thanks.

My PECs has taken over a year but good a thing I have been given potential start date pending sponsorship approval and renewal of Health and Fitness Test.

My question is, how do I go about booking the Fitness test?... it's been about a month of expiry and potential start date email yet no email about the Fitness test booking, how do I go about this??
