Job Description:
Trainee Probation Officer Programme offers 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 extraordinary role allows you to change lives by working with offenders in the community, in prisons, and in courts. You will support them to get back on track and turn their lives around while gaining a professional qualification with our support, along with a competitive salary, generous leave, and great training.
What the Role Involves:
You’ll work as a probation services officer while earning your qualification. Your responsibilities include visiting prisons, attending courts, and making interventions with offenders to help them understand their behavior and motivate them to change. You’ll assist them in realizing their potential to build a more positive future and reduce the likelihood of reoffending. You will also work with victims of crime, colleagues across the criminal justice system, charities, and the wider community.
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. Building rapport quickly and de-escalating potentially volatile situations is essential. Self-management, passion for your work, and excellent report-writing skills are also crucial. Experience working with individuals who demonstrate challenging behavior is required, whether it’s paid or voluntary.
What You Need to Apply:
To apply, you’ll need a recognized Level 3 qualification or above, such as an A level, access to higher educational diploma, advanced apprenticeship, applied general, or AS level. The subject of your Level 3 qualification is not important. We offer various 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 the correct length of the program – 15, 21, or 27 months.
What We Offer:
You’ll receive a competitive salary and benefits package, including enrolment in the Local Government Pension Scheme. Under the scheme, you would make 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.
