Job Description:
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. This role allows you to 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 while gaining a professional qualification with our support, alongside a competitive salary, generous leave, and great training.
What the Role Involves:
You’ll work as a probation services officer while earning your qualification. This includes visiting prisons and attending courts to make interventions with offenders that enable them to understand their behavior and motivate them to change. You’ll help them realize their potential to build a more positive future and reduce the chance of reoffending. You’ll also work with victims of crime, colleagues across the criminal justice system, charities, and the wider community, gaining knowledge and skills through a mixture of theory and practical training.
Skills and Experience:
Our team comes from various backgrounds, so there’s no single type of probation officer. To join, you’ll need emotional intelligence, resilience, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. You should be capable of building rapport quickly and de-escalating potentially volatile situations. Self-management, passion, and commitment to your work are essential, along with excellent report-writing skills. Experience working with individuals demonstrating challenging behavior is also required, whether paid or voluntary.
What You Need to Apply:
To apply, you’ll need a recognized Level 3 qualification or above, such as A level, access to higher educational diploma, advanced apprenticeship, applied general, or AS level, regardless of the subject. We offer different learning programs depending on your qualification level, ranging from 15 months for Graduates with a level 5 qualification to 27 months for our non-graduate program. If your application is successful, we’ll assess your previous education to offer you the correct length of the program – 15, 21, or 27 months.
What We Offer:
You’ll receive a competitive salary and benefits package, including enrollment into the Local Government Pension Scheme, with contributions of around 6.5% of your pay and employer contributions of around 29.6%. You’ll 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.
