* Manage waste collection, processing, and disposal across the estate, adhering to safety, security, and environmental standards.
* Oversee inventory and tool safety, ensuring necessary stock levels, proper equipment use, and compliance with security protocols.
* Work closely with contractors for waste services, overseeing activities and ensuring adherence to security measures.
* Foster accountability and self-reflection among prisoners, encouraging them to understand the impact of their actions on the environment and the community.
* Conduct health and safety assessments and enforce safe work practices across waste management operations.
