Building Craftsperson

The Estates department at Westmorland General Hospital is a group of highly skilled electrical and mechanical engineers, creative building craftspersons, and dedicated support staff.

We are looking to recruit motivated and enthusiastic people to join us.

You should be experienced, time served and suitably qualified in painting and decoration, ideally on a commercial/industrial level.

Working as part of a team, and individually, you will be required to carry out decoration and building finishes maintenance within acute and community NHS properties.

A healthcare, commercial, or industrial background would be advantageous but not essential - as specific training will be provided.

This post is based at Westmorland General Hospital in Kendal.

We operate from three main hospitals - Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, as well as a number of community healthcare premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, and Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe.

FGH and the RLI have a range of general hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various consultant-led services.

WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.

All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay.
