About You:

Are you a multi-skilled trades person who can turn their hand to anything? Can you apply your versatility to a new environment where no two days will be the same? Could you work alongside facilities management professionals with your good knowledge of basic electrical, plumbing and maintenance tasks?

If you’re ready for your new challenge, quick to learn, enthusiastic and willing to share your skills and experience and contribute, we want to hear from you.

We provide critical and time-bound services to the Ministry of Justice and are looking for facilities management professionals that can make a difference to the sites and the people we are responsible for.

We’re four years young and growing in the provision of our on site solutions to the prison service and want applicants with:

  • Confidence to use a range of power tools and equipment to undertake maintenance tasks such as changing light bulbs, minor carpentry, decorating, plumbing and grounds work
  • An ability to work to deadlines and stay calm under pressure
  • Experience of working in an environment that requires adherence to compliance and quality standards such as healthcare, commercial construction or the military
  • A compassionate and calm nature, who can escort contractors and visitors throughout the prison whilst following security protocols
  • A willingness to learn new skills and approach tasks with a positive attitude.

If this sounds like you, we’d like to hear from you.
