So much more than just fixing a leaky tap

We need a great Plumber to join our team to help keep our hospital environment safe, operational and supporting the health and wellbeing of our patients, staff and visitors - day in day out. No mean feat We really mean it when we say no two days are the same - it’s a blend of planned maintenance coupled with emergency repairs and everything in between.

Most superheroes wear a cape - yet you will be issued with our easily recognisable Hospital uniform and will work as part of a team with five or six colleagues carrying out all manner of planned preventative maintenance, repairs to engineering plant and equipment. Owing to the skills and experience you possess, this is without supervision as we trust you to be in charge of your own work activity. Many of the repairs will need to be attended to urgently and some aspects of the work can be hazardous but this will be a walk in the park for you.

We offer you is stability, development, a set working pattern within sociable hours without a tax return or customer invoice in sight Although, better than all of that, is the chance to really give something back to the NHS as we need people like you to join our NHS workforce with the skills, knowledge, experience and attributes you have to help us with patient comfort and safety.
