**Job summary**:

- Please refer to Job Description**Job description**:
Probation services officers can help make a real difference to peoples’ lives. It’s not always easy to help someone turn their life around, but it can be immensely rewarding.

We’re looking for empathetic, patient and resilient people to join us as probation services officers. As well as making a difference to others, the role offers plenty of on-the-job training and a real chance to build a career in the Probation Service.

As a PSO, you’ll have a similar job to a fully qualified probation officer. The main difference is you’ll work with medium and lower risk clients. That’s not to say it’ll be easy. There’s no doubt this is a challenging role.

This is an interesting and rewarding role to start or develop your career in the Criminal Justice System and learn all aspects of Prison and Probation work, with extensive career development opportunities within Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and wider Ministry of Justice (MOJ). The Probation Service is committed to learning and development, and full training for the role is provided, with regular support and supervision being provided throughout your journey to develop your skills and experience.

**Summary**

To assess and manage the risk (including risk management plans and escalation) posed by people on probation to protect victims of crime and the general public by:

- To undertake the full range of offender management tasks with people on probation assessed as low or medium risk of harm and to support the Probation Officer grade in high risk cases.
