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. 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. You’ll also gain 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 to help them understand their behavior and want to change it. You’ll assist them in realizing their potential to build a more positive future and reduce the chance of reoffending.
You will gain knowledge and skills through a mixture of theory and practical training, working with victims of crime, colleagues across the criminal justice system, charities, and the wider community. You’ll learn from different situations every day.
After qualifying, you’ll be able to apply to become a probation officer with opportunities for further development and progression through structured career paths.
Skills and Experience:
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. A passion for and commitment to your work is essential, along with excellent report-writing skills. Experience working with individuals demonstrating challenging behavior is also required, whether through paid or voluntary work.
What You Need 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. The subject of your Level 3 qualification is not important.
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 determine 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 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% of your pay.
