Part time Stores Person

Your New Role

We have a fantastic opportunity for a permanent Stores Person to join our Ministry of Justice (MoJ) account in HMP Wymott, Ulnes Walton, Leyland, Preston, Lancashire, PR26 8LW. This role is based on-site and not accessible by public transport for the start time required, but free parking is available.

The hourly rate is £12.00.

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.

Stores Person plays an important part in ensuring the maintenance team have all necessary items to be able to maintain the site and that prisoners have items they require during their time there.

The standard hours of work are 19.5 hours per week, working from 07:00 – 15:00 with days alternating each week. This will be discussed by the manager at interview stage.

Work-life balance and flexibility are key for our success. We empower our people to make choices that are right for them. And with a network of offices across the UK, we’re open to discussing working options that suit you.

You will be responsible for:

• Issue required stock to prisoners (clothing etc.) on request and in a timely manner.
• Movement of stock – this will involve heavy lifting.
• Carry out regular checks on stock to ensure levels are not running low. 
• Keep the Stores in a good state of cleanliness and tidiness at all times.
• Pack and send any items that need to be sent by courier to ensure safe delivery.
• Ensure that good records are kept of stock and track stock issued to prisoners.
• Collect any items locally as and when required.
• This role will also support both local and business zero carbon programmes, working towards zero carbon in a strategic and lean manner as and where it is appropriate.
• Responsible for ensuring H&S standards are achieved across the contract.

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).

We want to hear from you if you are:

• Able to deliver a positive impact and see efficiency as a top priority.
• Comfortable working in a prisoner facing role
• IT proficient

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 store room 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.
