Programme Facilitator – Probation Service
Please note: This is a 24 month fixed term position.
Are you passionate about rehabilitation? Could you help people make meaningful and sustained changes in their lives? If so, a career as a Programme Facilitator in the Probation Service is for you.
Providing interventions to people who engage in harmful behaviour to help reduce their likelihood of reoffending is an important part of our work in HMPPS. Our Programme Facilitators deliver a range of Accredited Programmes and Structured Interventions. You will be delivering group work and individual work to people subject to Community Orders or on licence after release from prison. These programmes are designed to support people to desist from crime, help people build on their strengths and lead more fulfilling and pro‑social lives. You will be working with people who have perpetrated domestic abuse, sexual abuse and/or committed other violent and acquisitive offences.
The majority of our Programmes are delivered in the evening and therefore evening work is essential in this role. You will also travel to different locations to your office base to deliver these programmes. Travel expenses can be claimed.
If you are successful in the recruitment process to join the Probation Service, your starting salary will be £26,475.
In addition to the base salary, you will be entitled to unsocial hours payments for working in the evenings and/or on Saturday. Working on a Saturday attracts an additional premium of 50% and working evenings an additional 30%.
The Probation Service offers the opportunity for annual pay progression through a Competency Based Framework (CBF), which, if eligible, will see your pay increase. CBF is designed to enable you to move up through the pay band range as your competence grows.
New entrants are expected to join on the minimum of the pay band.
