We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a Permanent Stores Person to join our Ministry of Justice (MoJ) in HMP Cardiff, Knox Rd, Cardiff CF24 0UG. This role is based on-site.

The standard hours of work are 39 hours per week (Shift pattern 08:00am to 16:45pm Monday-Friday).

At Amey, we’re supporting our justice client, His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) by providing them with safe, clean and efficient prisons. By using our facilities management expertise, we help keep 60 secure premises across England and Wales running smoothly.

What you will do

• Issuing stock (e.g., clothing) to prisoners promptly.
• Keeping accurate records of stock and tracking items issued to prisoners.
• Regularly checking stock levels to prevent shortages.
• Moving stock, including heavy lifting.
• Maintaining cleanliness and order in the Stores.
• Ensuring health and safety standards are met across the contract.
• Packing and sending items via courier for safe delivery.
• Collecting items locally as needed.
• Supporting local and business zero carbon initiatives strategically.

What makes this role unique is you will provide a service to both your colleagues and prisoners alike, whilst also working alongside prisoners. Prison Security Clearance will be required (Amey will support you through this process).

What you will bring

• Able to deliver a positive impact and see efficiency as a top priority.
• Comfortable working in a prisoner facing role
• A full UK driving licence and have access to personal transport

Ideally you will have experience of working in a stores/stockroom role.

In addition to this, it would be desirable if you have knowledge of Manual Handling and experience working within a similar storeroom environment with use of IT packages to help you hit the ground running, although this is not essential as we will provide you with the required development you need to bring you up to speed.

We welcome applications from a diverse range of candidates.
