Join Our Team

We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a Painter / Decorator to join our Ministry of Justice (MoJ) team at HMP Liverpool.

At Amey, we're supporting His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) by delivering facilities management services that help create safe, secure and efficient prison environments. 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. You'll also have the opportunity to support prisoner rehabilitation by sharing your skills and helping individuals develop valuable trade experience through Amey's CRED programme. This is a rewarding position where your work makes a genuine difference every day.

What You Will Do

• 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.

We welcome applications from a diverse range of candidates.

If you have most but not all of these skills and experiences, we encourage you to apply. We may be able to offer development and training to support your growth.

Security Clearance
