This is a Trainee Probation Officer Programme with a training salary of £26,475 (during training), moving to £35,130 once in a qualified probation officer role. There is a London weighting allowance of £4,249 which is additional to these salaries.
As a probation officer, you can change lives by working with offenders in the community, in prisons, and in courts. You’ll support them to get back on track and turn their lives around. You’ll also gain a professional qualification with our support, along with a competitive salary, generous leave, and great training.

1. Visiting prisons and attending courts.
2. Making interventions with offenders to help them understand their behavior and motivate change.
3. Working with victims of crime, colleagues across the criminal justice system, charities, and the wider community.
After qualifying, you’ll be able to apply to become a probation officer with opportunities for further development and structured career progression.
Skills and Experience:
To join, you’ll need:
1. Emotional intelligence and resilience.
2. The ability to stay calm under pressure.
3. Strong rapport-building skills and the ability to de-escalate potentially volatile situations.
4. Excellent report-writing skills.
5. Experience working with individuals demonstrating challenging behavior (paid or voluntary).
What You Need to Apply:
A recognized Level 3 qualification or above (e.g., A level, access to higher education diploma, advanced apprenticeship). The subject of your Level 3 qualification does not matter.
We offer different learning programmes based on your qualification level, ranging from 15 to 27 months. Successful applications will have their previous education assessed to determine the appropriate length of the programme.
What We Offer:
A competitive salary and benefits package, including enrolment into the Local Government Pension Scheme (contributions of around 6.5% of your pay, with employer contributions of around 29.6%). You’ll also be part of a supportive, diverse, and friendly team environment, with guidance from your divisional training manager, line manager, and practice tutor throughout your studies.
