Painter and Decorator

Job Introduction

We have an exciting opportunity for a Painter and Decorator to join our dedicated facilities team at HMP Peterborough. 

HMP Peterborough are one of the major sites within the Sodexo Justice Services portfolio. This role will provide painting, decorating, MAF, PPM and reactive task provisions across the prison whilst taking ownership of assigned areas, tasks and plant. You will also be required to liaise with internal and external stakeholders at all levels.

As a working prison, we work towards the resettlement of prisoners upon their release into the community and their integration into society through the skills acquired whilst in our care. We are committed to supporting people to change their lives for the better and lead law-abiding lives upon release.

Sodexo Justice aims to change lives for the better by reducing reoffending and improving the quality of life for those under our supervision and in our care. We deliver safe, effective and innovative custodial and community rehabilitation services that challenge offending behaviour, protect the public and offer individuals the opportunity to change their lives for the better. We deliver the total operation of six prisons within the UK and own six Community Rehabilitation Companies in partnership with crime reduction charity Nacro.

HMP/YOI Peterborough is the country’s only purpose-built prison for both male and female prisoners (kept separate at all times), including a 12-place mother and baby unit. We are committed to offering education and development programmes to provide residents with the skills required to enter employment on release, so reducing the chances of further offending. Providing creative outlets, such as workshop activities, helps to equip those in custody for when they are released. We use ‘Restorative Approaches’ to bring people in conflict into dialogue. Using a skilled and structured process, those who have been harmed have an opportunity to be heard and those that have caused the harm are held to account for what they have done. We have strong links with the community outside through a variety of partnerships, including our outreach activity Outside Links’ offering support and advice to both residents and their families.
