Moving to Mixed Caseloads

Having a mixed and varied caseload will benefit me by balancing out my caseload with other colleagues, giving me depth and breadth of experience in working across different cases giving me variety in my workload. This will in turn, benefit people on probation I am working with. I will hold high and medium risk cases; attend MAPPA and oral hearings and I am required to be VISOR vetted. I will need to ensure that I am managing and appropriately referring those PoPs on RARs to the appropriate intervention (CRS, Toolkits, Structured Interventions) as well as supporting those on multiple requirements with their programme and UPW completions.

I will need to discuss my learning and development plans with my SPO and will be given the time to carry out the Learning and Development needed, including reflective supervision. There is a checklist available which outlines the learning and development on offer to me and when my SPO thinks I am ready; I will be reallocated new cases through nDelius.

I have been using approved toolkits with PoPs for a few months now and I will have started to refer to Structured Interventions and using Refer and Monitor.

Investment in estates will ensure that Probation Contact Centres are safe and secure, to enable a sufficient number of our offices to deliver mixed caseloads. My SPO will provide me with further information about what this means for me and my site.
