Overview of the Role

Residential Workers help to keep the public safe. Giving people the chance to turn their lives around. Building a rewarding professional career. It’s an extraordinary role. There are many reasons to join the Probation Service. What will yours be?

Approved Premises are primarily for offenders who have been released on licence and who require a high level of supervision.

As a residential worker in an Approved Premises, you will play a crucial role in supporting the management of offenders in their transition from custody into the community, to achieve successful resettlement.

The role will entail working at one main Approved Premise with the requirement to work across additional sites should the need arise.

Duties and Responsibilities

• You will assist with the well-being and supervision of Approved Premises residents, helping them to stick to their license conditions and supporting them to keep themselves and others safe.
• You will carry out inspections, monitor behaviour and positively engage with residents
• Working closely with colleagues and partner agencies.

Person Specification

• You do not need a degree for this role. We are much more interested in your personal qualities.
• Ideally, with experience of working with people who have social or personal difficulties, you will be empathetic, patient, and resilient.
• A good level of numeracy and literacy is also required as the role involves some report writing.
• You will require HMPPS Enhanced Level vetting to undertake this role or be willing to undergo on successful appointment.

Due to the high volume of applications received, if you do not hear from us within 7 working days, I am afraid your application has been unsuccessful.
