Your new company
HMP Huntercombe is a Category C men's prison located in Nuffield, Oxfordshire. The establishment exclusively houses foreign national offenders, typically those nearing the end of their custodial sentences and awaiting deportation. Originally constructed as an internment camp during World War II, the site opened as a prison in 1946 and has since evolved into a specialist facility with a capacity of approximately 400-480 inmates.

The role involves carrying out a broad range of maintenance tasks, including plumbing, painting, minor repairs, building fabric replacements, general cleaning, furniture moves, seasonal external upkeep, and basic carpentry. It also includes escorting and supervising contractors and prisoners in line with security procedures, maintaining radio communication, conducting searches, responding to incidents, and supporting vulnerable individuals. In addition, you will ensure Health & Safety compliance, operate vehicles or equipment when qualified, complete records and reports, and undertake emergency or incidental tasks, along with any other duties assigned by the Site Manager.
