Don’t miss out on this limited opportunity to:
Visit the Probation Office and get a sense of what it’s like working in The Probation Service.
* Meet some of our Probation Team and see what they have to say about their work.
* Meet our friendly assessors who will test to see if you have the abilities, behaviours, and strengths to be a Programme Facilitator.
Complete your online application by 24th July 2025 and, if successful, you will be invited to an assessment day.
Details of the day including start time and what to bring will be shared with you once you have completed your application and passed the initial online stage.
During the day you will be asked to complete a Programme Facilitator Assessment and a face-to-face interview where we will test behaviours and strengths.
Your natural strengths are assessed to find out what motivates and energises you. We will also assess your spoken English abilities.
If successful on day you will be advised of the outcome, subject to pre-employment vetting checks.
Are you a confident communicator? Are you passionate about rehabilitation and the benefits of group work? Could you help people make meaningful and sustained changes in their lives? If so, then a career as a Programmes Facilitator in the Probation Service in South Central could be for you.
Providing interventions to people who engage in harmful behaviour to help reduce their likelihood of reoffending is an important part of our work in HMPPS. Accredited Programmes aim to support people in our care to strengthen and develop skills and behaviour to enable greater choice and capacity to lead a more constructive, meaningful and crime free future.
As a Programmes Facilitator, you will be responsible for delivering these Accredited Programmes to individuals from a range of backgrounds and with different offending histories. You will plan, deliver and debrief a range of sessions to diverse groups of individuals on key areas of need, such as emotional management, problem solving, assertive communication, thinking skills, and social and relationship skills. You will use your keen understanding and awareness of group dynamics and the complex needs of people on probation to inform how you manage the sessions, and use your prosocial modelling skills to reinforce positive behaviour and challenge anti-social behaviour and attitudes.
Our team is made up of a strong and inclusive group of colleagues, from all walks of life, who are passionate about helping and motivating people on probation. You will work alongside your fellow team members to ensure that people on probation receive the highest quality input and support, as well as sharing information and providing guidance to members of the wider Probation Service, such as Probation Practitioners and Domestic Abuse Safety Officers.
The South Central Intervention Team is committed to learning and development, and full training for the role of Facilitator is provided. This is alongside regular support and reflective supervision provided throughout your journey by Programme Managers, as well as regular feedback and input from experienced Treatment Manager colleagues.
The work is varied, challenging and meaningful and comes with job security, great benefits and career progression opportunities – not to mention the chance to make a real difference to people’s lives and our communities.
Requirements of the Programme Facilitator Role Include:
Training in the delivery of groupwork programmes as outlined in the Accredited Programme and Structured Interventions Manuals and in keeping with the core concepts of group work delivery.
Delivering programme sessions to groups or individuals
Monitoring group participants’ progress, providing participants with feedback, and ensuring this is recorded on relevant systems.
Working as a team to support performance targets and programme integrity requirements.
Working alongside Treatment Managers to contribute to the assessment of risk, protective factors and treatment targets of those attending groups.
Undertaking regular training, feedback and development sessions and workshops.
Liaising with Probation Practitioners, Domestic Abuse Safety Officers and partner agencies to share information on progress, risk and needs.
Identifying and taking the necessary action to protect children and vulnerable adults and promote their welfare in accordance with safeguarding policies and procedures.
Required to work up to 3 ‘unsociable’ sessions per week (evenings and/or Saturday)
Delivering groups from various delivery venues across the South Central Region; Portsmouth and/or Southampton
The majority of our Programmes are delivered in the evening and therefore evening work is essential in this role. You will also travel to different locations to your office base to deliver these programmes. Travel expenses can be claimed.
Due to the nature of the role extensive training and support is provided to ensure that all Programme Facilitators are confident and competent to succeed. Through the training programme you will learn about all aspects of programme delivery, including the theory behind the interventions we deliver. It is a requirement to successfully complete a 6-month probationary period, including undertaking an assessment centre and passing assessed training.
In addition to the base salary, you will be entitled to unsocial hours payments for working in the evenings and/or a Saturday. Working on a Saturday attracts an additional premium of 50% and working evenings an additional 30%.
