Becoming part of the Probation Service means contributing to keeping the public safe, helping people turn their lives around, and building a rewarding professional career. This is an extraordinary role with many reasons to join the Probation Service. What will yours be?
About The Role
As a Probation services officer, you’ll have a similar job to a fully qualified probation officer. The main difference is you’ll work with medium and lower risk clients. There’s no doubt this is a challenging role. You’ll assess and manage risks, provide information to courts, and work closely with agencies throughout the justice system to support offenders. This could involve practical advice about housing and employment, or simply listening. You will liaise, provide information and advice to criminal courts, criminal justice agencies and other partner agencies, and work with other agencies and groups to prevent crime and meet the needs of victims and people on probation.
About You
You don’t need a degree for this role. We’re more interested in your personal qualities. Ideally, you’ll have experience of working with people who have social or personal difficulties, and you’ll be empathetic, patient and resilient.
You will have the ability to evidence high level numeracy and literacy skills required to read, understand and interpret policies and the ability to write reports and correspondence for internal and external stakeholders, or a minimum of 5 GCSEs at Grade C or above, including English and Maths.
About Us
The Probation Service works with offenders who are pre- or post-release from prison or serving community sentences. Our role is to support their rehabilitation and protect the public. People come from all walks of life to form one team in the Probation Service. Join us and you’ll be part of a supportive team that thrives on sharing knowledge and expertise. If this sounds like you, apply now.
