Are you passionate about making a difference in people's lives and supporting safer communities? RSR is recruiting on behalf of the Probation Service for a dedicated Approved Premises Worker to join a dynamic team in Bristol.

In this role, you'll play a vital part in maintaining a safe, supportive, and structured environment for residents at an Approved Premises (AP) - helping individuals on probation reintegrate into the community, while ensuring compliance with licence conditions and AP rules.

Key Responsibilities:

• Actively supervise and engage with residents to promote positive behaviour and ensure safety.
• Carry out regular inspections of the premises, including grounds and cellars; monitor CCTV and record any incidents or defects.
• Ensure the building is secure during curfew hours and confirm the presence and well-being of residents overnight.
• Support residents by facilitating purposeful activities and supervising meals and medication procedures.
• Respond appropriately to challenging behaviour and escalate concerns to the standby manager when necessary.
• Conduct alcohol and drug testing as required, and administer First Aid if needed.
• Complete accurate records, incident reports, and contribute to safeguarding responsibilities.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience working with vulnerable individuals or in a secure setting is desirable.
• Ability to maintain professionalism in challenging situations.
• We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds including: Security officers, Probation or other Criminal Justice, Housing or homelessness services, Mental health, substance misuse or safeguarding roles

You must be flexible to work various shifts. The hostel is a 24 hour hostel so the right candidate will be available for any of the 7 days per week, including night shifts.

An Enhanced DBS check will be required for this role. We can support you with this if you haven't got one.

Due to the high volume of applications received, if you do not hear from us within 7 working days, I am afraid your application has been unsuccessful.
