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. As a probation officer, you can 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 will work as a probation services officer while earning your qualification. This includes visiting prisons and attending courts to make interventions with offenders that help them understand their behavior and desire to change it. You will assist them in realizing their potential to build a more positive future and reduce the chance of reoffending. You will also work with victims of crime, colleagues across the criminal justice system, charities, and the wider community.
Skills and Experience:
To join, you’ll need emotional intelligence, resilience, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. You should be someone who can build rapport quickly and de-escalate potentially volatile situations. A passion for and commitment to your work is essential, along with excellent report-writing skills. Experience working with individuals demonstrating challenging behavior, whether paid or voluntary, is also required.
What You Need to Apply:
A recognized Level 3 qualification or above is required, such as A level, access to higher educational diploma, advanced apprenticeship, applied general, or AS level. The subject of your Level 3 qualification does not matter. We offer different learning programmes depending on your qualification level, ranging from 15 months for Graduates with a level 5 qualification to 27 months for our non-graduate programme. If your application is successful, we will assess your previous education to offer you the correct length of the programme – 15, 21, or 27 months.
What We Offer:
A competitive salary and benefits package, including enrolment into the Local Government Pension Scheme, where you would contribute around 6.5% of your pay, with employer contributions of around 29.6%. You will 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.
