- Being responsible for following up on service user actions to ensure that timely progress is made with these, e.g., making repayments or responding to correspondence.
- Liaising with National Probation Service officers, and completing all associated recording of these interactions, tracking and management information details, as directed, accurately and on a timely basis.
- Promoting the additional choices available to service users, for example third sector support (food banks, credit unions etc.)

- Knowledge of guidance and national standards.
- Good rapport-building skills.
- Professional and articulate.
- Flexible and adaptable.

**Skills Required**:

- Must have previous experience case loading or working with ex-offenders or the marginalised and demotivated.

- The ability to work under pressure in a high-performance environment.
- Strong personable approach when working with service users.
- Flexible approach to work, including a willingness to travel.
- Willingness to work occasional unsociable hours.
- Delivering services to service users who are still in custody, inclusive of attending prisons to work face-to-face.

We also recognise that there may be a need for more permanent flexibility in your working arrangements and in such cases, we encourage you to have these discussions at the interview stage, to enable your flexible working request to be considered as early as possible.
