Why should I work in the probation sector?
Working in the probation sector can be a highly rewarding experience. Probation officers work directly with offenders, helping them to not only stay out of trouble, but also to address their underlying issues and form healthier habits. By providing guidance, support, and motivation, probation staff can help offenders turn their lives around and make positive changes that have long-term effects. Additionally, probation officers have the opportunity to work with a variety of people, from those who have committed minor offenses to those who have committed serious crimes, and they often get to witness the success stories of offenders who have made positive changes in their lives.
