If you’re a qualified plumber with building services experience, this is a stable, long‑term role on a large, complex healthcare estate. You’ll be working in a Hard FM environment where your work directly supports clinical services, patient safety and day‑to‑day hospital operations.This isn’t just “fixing leaks” — you’ll be maintaining and supporting plant, services and complex systems across a busy hospital site, with the structure, support and purpose that comes with working in healthcare.
The Role
As a Maintenance Plumber, you’ll provide technical support across the Wythenshawe Hospital estate, helping keep building services running safely, compliantly and efficiently. You’ll deliver a mix of reactive repairs and planned work, completing jobs to a high standard and supporting a safe environment for patients, visitors and staff.

- Working to company/client procedures and statutory compliance, including H&S, safe systems of work, hygiene/cleanliness, fire safety and COSHH.
- Promoting a safe and healthy environment across the site.
What we’re looking for
- NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) and good building services knowledge
- Strong maintenance experience: fault finding, diagnosing issues, reading drawings and repairing equipment
- Organised approach with the ability to keep pace and meet deadlines
- Clear communication, a positive attitude and a team-first mindset
- Comfortable working both as part of a team and independently, staying calm under pressure
(Healthcare or large-site experience is useful — but not essential.)
What you’ll get (Sodexo Benefits)
Working with Sodexo is more than a job — it’s a chance to be part of something bigger, with strong support for you and your family.
