Hours: Saturday & Sunday, 9 AM – 12 PM

Why Join Us?

✔ Lead and supervise a “waste party” of prisoners, promoting teamwork and responsibility.

✔ Support sustainability by encouraging recycling and reducing landfill waste.

✔ Maintain security and safety through end-of-shift searches and adherence to prison protocols.

✔ Play a key role in fostering a positive, restorative culture within the prison.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Experience in manual work (e.g., maintenance, handyman, or similar).

Awareness of health & safety and security protocols.

Willingness to work within a prison environment and conduct searches.
