We are seeking a dedicated Plumber (Level 2) to join our team at HMP Grendon Springhill. HMP Grendon is a Category B training prison, while HMP Springhill is a Category D open prison, and they are jointly managed and maintained by the same facilities team.

Everything we do impacts every prisoner, employee, and visitor, and wider to the families and community. As a Plumber / Mechanical Engineer (Level 2) you will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced and passionate colleagues who vary from plumbers, electricians, carpenters, painters, to cleaners, and administrators – all dedicated to making a positive difference and providing a safe and secure environment for all.
