Maintenance Electrician

We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for an on-site Maintenance Electrician to work at HMP Morton Hall.
The standard hours of work are 39 hours per week, worked across 7 days, with a 1 in 3 weekend shift pattern in place. This includes an additional allowance of 15% of basic salary. As part of the role, you may also be included in an on-call rota; when on standby, a generous allowance is paid. Optional overtime is also available.
HMP Morton Hall offers a unique working environment that balances structure with openness. With a strong focus on safety, rehabilitation, and community, the site provides a professional yet approachable setting.
