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. 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 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 you earn your qualification. Visiting prisons and attending courts, you’ll make interventions with offenders that enable them to understand their behaviour and want to change it. You’ll help them bring out their potential to build a more positive future and reduce the chance that they’ll reoffend. You’ll 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 have the ability to build rapport quickly and de-escalate potentially volatile situations. Excellent report-writing skills are a must, and experience working with people who’ve demonstrated challenging behaviour is required.
What you need to apply:
To apply, you’ll need a recognised Level 3 qualification or above, such as A level, access to higher educational diploma, advanced apprenticeship, applied general or AS level. We offer different learning programmes depending on the level of qualification you hold, ranging from 15 months for Graduates with a level 5 qualification to 27 months for our non-graduate programme.
What we offer:
You’ll receive a competitive salary and benefits package, including enrolment into the Local Government Pension Scheme. 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.
