The Community Payback Unit provides individual and group placements for offenders sentenced by the court to do unpaid work which is of benefit to the community. Supervisors lead work parties undertaking decorating, gardening, catering, small building projects or other such work. Successful candidate/s will have sound practical skills coupled with the ability to supervise and motivate diverse work groups. The work is suitable for people of either gender and we particularly welcome applications from women, and from ethnic minorities. It is important that staff reflect the diversity of the whole community.

A current clean driving licence is necessary. It is a requirement that the postholder is available for occasional training events, some of which take place on a weekday evening for which an additional payment is made. Some initial on-site supervision is also provided.

Sessional Supervisors are required for either week day or weekend work. The working hours are 8 am to 5 pm per day. We cannot guarantee regular work but sessional supervisors should be prepared to work 9.5 hours one day per week.

A CRB check at Enhanced level will be required
