Your New Role
We have a fantastic opportunity for a permanent Plumber in HMP Haverigg, North Lane, Haverigg, Millom, LA18. This role is based on-site. You will need your own transport due to the remote coastal, countryside location of this site, which is more than one hour from Lancaster.

At Amey, we're supporting our justice client, His Majesty's Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) by providing them with safe, clean and efficient prisons.
By using our facilities' management expertise, we help keep 60 secure premises across England and Wales running smoothly.
