## Description
The Probation Service, part of Her Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) is responsible for managing all those on a community order or licence following their release from prison in England and Wales.
The Probation Service has a requirement for temporary workers to cover periods of absence, both long-term and short-term, and to provide cover where a vacancy currently exists. These workers need to be qualified probation officers (PO), and where appropriate senior probation officers (SPO), probation service officers (PSO) or unpaid work supervisors (UPW) not currently employed by the Probation Service. Additionally, there is a specific requirement for temporary workers to be provided for pre-sentence report writing. This is a requirement that aims to supplement the capacity of the Probation Service.
