You’ll manage a caseload and provide coordinated oversight of risk, with a strong emphasis on safeguarding both adults and children. This includes promptly reporting any changes in individual risk to the Probation Service and adhering to established policies, procedures, and systems to ensure effective risk management.
From initial engagement and assessment, you will offer motivational support and guidance throughout participants’ sentences. You’ll deliver both one-to-one and group interventions to help individuals overcome barriers to reintegration. A key part of the role involves preparing participants for release, ensuring a smooth and well-supported transition back into the community.

Due to the peripatetic nature of this role, regular travel across the designated cluster is required for caseload management, service delivery, and attending internal and external meetings.
