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. This includes visiting prisons and attending courts to make interventions with offenders, helping them understand their behavior and motivating them to change. You’ll assist them in realizing their potential to build a more positive future and reduce the chance of reoffending. Additionally, you’ll engage with victims of crime, colleagues across the criminal justice system, charities, and the wider community, learning from different situations every day.
Skills and Experience
Our people come 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 able to build rapport quickly and de-escalate potentially volatile situations. Self-management and a passion for your work are essential, along with excellent report-writing skills. Experience working with individuals exhibiting challenging behavior is also necessary, 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. We offer different learning programs based 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 determine the appropriate 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 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.
