A185C Maintenance Plumber at Gloucestershire College

What if your next plumbing role gave you your evenings back, kept your weekends free and gave you the peace of mind that comes with knowing where you stand?

At Gloucestershire College, we're looking for an experienced Plumber to join our team.

We know that experience in plumbing and heating is valuable, and that staying self- employed can offer its own rewards. But if you're ready for a different kind of balance, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

With set Monday-to-Friday hours (8:30am–5:00pm), paid annual leave, bank holidays, Christmas off and pension benefits, you'll enjoy greater predictability in your working week and more time to enjoy life outside work.

You'll still put your practical skills and experience to good use, helping maintain the facilities that support our students and staff every day. But you'll also benefit from being part of an established team and a more structured working environment.

Ready to explore a different way of working? We'd love to hear from you.

Location: Llanthony Road, Gloucester, Gloucestershire, GL2 5JQ
Contract Type: Permanent
Contract Term: Full-Time
Positions Available:  1

You'll also benefit from:

• 27 days' annual leave every year (increasing to 32 days’ after 5 years’ service)
• The option to buy an additional 5 days' holiday
• Bank Holidays and College Christmas Closure in addition to your annual leave
• People's Pension, including an employer contribution of 4-5%
• A stable, professional working environment within a College setting
• The opportunity to use your industry experience while enjoying a more predictable working week

About you

We're looking for a qualified and experienced plumbing professional who takes pride in delivering high-quality maintenance work.

You'll have:

• NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Plumbing, Heating or Mechanical Engineering
• A good understanding of health and safety when working with building services and plant
• Level 2 English and maths, or a willingness to achieve these
• Practical experience in plumbing, heating, maintenance, repairs and fault finding
• Most importantly, you'll be someone who takes pride in their work, works safely and professionally, and enjoys providing a reliable service to colleagues and the wider College community.

Ready for a better work-life balance?

If you're looking to take your plumbing career in a new direction — with set Monday-to-Friday hours, paid holiday, pension benefits and no requirement for weekend working — we'd love to hear from you.
