Joining the National Probation Service

       

          

Upon finishing my Criminology degree I was a little perplexed as to what I should do next. Whilst I had no desire to join the Police or Prison Service I had been advised by two of my previous lecturers that a career in the Probation Service would be something I may be suited to. So I applied, and after completing three separate stages of the application process, I was a trainee PO.....

    APPLICATION PROCESS

 


Life as a Probation Officer

 

 

The traineeship consisted of a two year introduction to the Probation Service, which included work based learning, real time work and the completion of a degree within the two year period. The course was described as being intensive and extremely demanding - and it didn't disappoint! The course was split into two stages (representing a year per stage) and I have included all of the academic and work based learning undertaken.

This section outlines my time as a Probation Officer, a career that I have found both demanding and rewarding. My involvement with the Service comes at a time when it is under public and media scrutiny, yet for me the Service plays a vital and effective role within the Community Justice System.

The Probation Service - Information

 

 

This section offers information on what the Probation Service has to offer. In my opinion the Service is more than equipped to meet the needs of managing risk within the community and protecting the public.....who needs contestability.
