Job description

This is a rolling campaign; applicants cannot reapply within a six-month period.

This scheme is open to former, qualified probation officers who have left the Civil Service within the last five years.

If you are a former qualified probation officer who has left the Civil Service less than 5 years ago, and have completed your probationary period and training, we would like you to consider returning to the Probation Service and joining your former colleagues, to keep the public safe and rehabilitate people on probation.

Should you meet the eligibility criteria, and your application is accepted by the Probation Service, we can offer you a fast-track return to the service with no requirement to undertake a lengthy application form, interview and repeat any entry level training or assessment process.

When considering applications, we take into account a range of relevant factors such as business need, location availability and previous employment history.

We will contact you to discuss your potential work base location, subject to passing pre-employment checks.

Please note: Former civil servants do not have the right to return. It is at the discretion of the Probation Service whether to reinstate former civil servants. This Returners Scheme utilises Exception 5 of the Recruitment Principles, which provides a mechanism for former civil servants to return, without necessarily going through fair and open competition again.
