This post is an integral role in supporting new and existing staff in the recording of probation work on bespoke Probation Systems.  This is an essential part of any significant organisational change as well as continuing to support in the business as usual state.  You will be key in ensuring colleagues are supported and confident using applications, systems and processes.  Excellent communication; interpersonal skills and presentational skills are required to provide training to users of all abilities.

The role requires the successful candidates to deliver ICT Training to groups of staff and therefore requires specific IT knowledge.  Currently delivery is done remotely, therefore the successful applicant can work remotely and be based in any Probation Office in Yorkshire and the Humber.  Classroom delivery will be reintroduced at some point in 2022 and so there will be an element of travel within the Yorkshire and Humberside Region.
