Overview
Please note: This post is based at Abingdon Road Approved Premise in Oxford and is not suitable for hybrid working. The interviews will be face to face in Oxford. The Probation Service works with over 30,000 people on probation each year, supporting their rehabilitation while protecting the public. Approved Premises (AP) are residential units, primarily for those who have been released on licence and who require a high level of supervision to manage the risk of harm they present to the public. The AP plays a key role in supporting the management of these offenders in their transition from custody into the community. As part of your role as a PSO you will carry out keywork with the residents and engage with them in purposeful activities to assist their rehabilitation in the community. The PSO working pattern will include some evenings and weekends. Unsocial hours allowances are applicable.
