**Job summary**:
- Please refer to Job Description**Job description**:
The Probation Service works with over 30,000 people on probation each year, supporting their rehabilitation while protecting the public. It is not an easy job, can be challenging - and may involve working with people with complex needs - but it is a rewarding one with variety, training and the chance to turn people’s lives around.
Approved Premises (AP) are residential units, primarily for those who have been released on licence and who require a high level of supervision to manage the risk of harm they present to the public. The AP plays a key role in supporting the management of these offenders in their transition from custody into the community. As part of your role as a PSO you will carry out keywork with the residents and engage with them in purposeful activities to assist their rehabilitation in the community.
The PSO working pattern will include some evenings and weekends. Unsocial hours allowances are applicable.
