Job description 1
Plastic items are not the only thing you will manufacture in this life-changing role.
Leading a team of prisoners working in our Plastic injection moulding workshop you will develop their skills and confidence, and possibly assess accredited vocational qualifications.
We will rely on you and your team to ensure our plastic products are manufactured to the highest standards, but the work you do with prisoners will have the longest lasting impact - and the most unique challenges.
Along the way, you could play a part in innovating products for use in a custodial setting or launching a new range for another government department.
As well as knowledge and skills spanning Plastic injection moulding production techniques, you will need strong communication and influencing skills and a caring, resilient approach.
Each of these establishments has injection moulding facilities, operating a total of 27 machines across the workshops ranging from 40 tonnes to 850 tonnes.
