We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for an on-site Maintenance Electrician in HMP Morton Hall.

 

The standard hours of work are 39 hours per week across 7 days as a weekend shift pattern of 1 in 3 is in place with an additional allowance of 15% of basic salary. As part of the role, you may be included in an on call rota, when on standby, you'll receive a generous allowance. You can also enjoy the flexibility of optional overtime. 

 

At HMP Morton Hall, the site offers a unique working environment that balances structure with openness. With a strong focus on safety, rehabilitation, and community, Morton Hall provides a professional yet approachable setting for staff.
