Sixteen areas in England and Wales will be funded to support new ‘hotspot’ police and enforcement patrols in areas with the highest rates of anti-social behaviour, and trial a new ‘Immediate Justice’ scheme to deliver swift and visible punishments. Cleveland, Durham and Northumbria will trial both elements. The Probation Service in the NE will be delivering the Immediate Justice element on behalf of all three Police and Crime Commissioners in the region. Under the new Immediate Justice scheme, those found committing anti-social behaviour (ASB) will be made to repair the damage they inflicted on victims and communities, with an ambition for them to start work as soon as 48 hours after their offence so victims know anti-social behaviour is treated seriously and with urgency.
To ensure the success of the Immediate Justice Trail blazer Project, the North East Probation Service are required to recruit a number of Community Payback Supervisors to work on the pilot. These will be operational roles directly supervising work groups of People on Probation. This may include driving service vehicles to transport people or equipment. The post holder will be responsible for all work site supervision tasks and will work with people on probation to ensure that all tasks are carried out to the best of their ability. This will include working alongside people to demonstrate good practice as necessary. The post holder will work on varied projects that involve practical tasks that should be seen by the public to be a credible punishment providing reparation to the community. The post holder will exercise appropriate authority to maintain discipline and good behaviour within working groups, alerting the relevant staff to any infringement of discipline or behaviour. The post holder will contribute towards the rehabilitative potential of the sentence and will support some service users to gain employment skills through a positive work experience with the opportunity to gain vocational or skills-based training.

Please note: This role will be to cover the Durham, Tees Valley and Northumbria area. However, successful candidates will be required to cover the whole of the North East Region as the business requires. As part of your application, please state your location preference.
