Through our expertise, we help keep more than 60 secure sites across England and Wales operating effectively every day.
This is more than a painting and decorating role. You'll be part of a team that helps maintain a safe and decent environment for prison staff, visitors and prisoners.

This is a rewarding position where your work makes a genuine difference every day.

- Deliver high-quality planned and reactive painting and decorating work across a busy prison environment.
- Help maintain safe, secure and well-presented facilities that support the day-to-day operation of the prison.
- Ensure tools, materials and equipment are maintained, stored and used responsibly.
- Work in line with health, safety and compliance requirements to achieve safe and efficient outcomes.
- Support and guide prisoners undertaking painting and decorating activities through Amey's rehabilitation-focused CRED programme.
- Contribute to a positive team culture by sharing knowledge, best practice and trade expertise.
What You Will Bring
- A positive and professional approach to working within a secure environment.
- Confidence working alongside and supervising prisoners in a constructive and respectful manner.
- Good understanding of health and safety practices, risk assessments and safe systems of work.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a wider facilities team.
- NVQ Level 2 in Painting and Decorating (essential).
- Previous experience within a painting and decorating role.
- Experience of sharing knowledge and supporting others to develop their skills.
