As a Probation services officer, 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.

We'll look to you to assess and manage risks, provide information to courts and work closely with agencies throughout the justice system and support offenders. This could involve everything from providing practical advice about housing and employment to simply listening.

You don't need a degree for this role. We're much more interested in your personal qualities. Ideally with experience of working with people who have social or personal difficulties, you'll be empathetic, patient and resilient. Good writing skills are also essential. You must be able to produce clear and accurate reports to tight deadlines.
