Graduate Aspiring Probation Officer - Guildford
Are you passionate about demonstrating the value of education to vulnerable children who have been exposed to traumas and adverse childhood experiences?
The School
We are looking for a dedicated Graduate Aspiring Probation Officer to work in this small, specialist school near Guildford. The school has a deep focus on addressing the educational, social, and therapeutic needs of students, focusing on individual happiness and well-being where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. A fantastic opportunity for Graduates and Trainees.
This role will give you essential restorative experience within anti-social and challenging settings - the perfect opportunity for graduates and trainees considering a career in prison, rehabilitation, probation, or youth justice services. Based on holistic and therapeutic practice, this is an amazing opportunity for Criminology and Psychology Graduates. The role will provide hands-on experience working with vulnerable children; and through building strong, robust relationships, you will increase the engagement, attainment, and life chances of children, aiming to ensure they do not enter the criminal justice system.
You will work alongside teachers and specialist staff to support students with social, emotional, and mental health needs (SEMH), challenges, and traumas. Some children/young people will have suffered adverse childhood experiences, and you will identify their risks and needs, escalating where necessary. Many of the children face various barriers in life and are more 'at risk' of negative outcomes. You will be instrumental in providing consistency, equipping children and young people with tools to ensure they feel safe, secure, empowered, and believe that they can succeed in life.
