Welsh speaking fee paid HM Inspectors

HM Inspectorate of Probation is the independent inspector of probation and youth offending services in England and Wales. We promote excellence in these services. We are seeking Welsh speaking fee paid inspectors to undertake work as needed on our probation and youth offending inspection programmes in Wales. Fee paid inspector roles are suited to people who are not directly employed by the Probation Service or Youth Offending Teams.

About these roles

Fee paid inspectors will be responsible for assessing the quality of practice carried out by frontline staff, against HMI Probation’s published inspection standards. HM Inspectors (HMI) will also contribute to our thematic inspections, which explore high-profile topics on a national basis. While fee paid HMIs will typically support or deputise, there may be opportunities to lead inspections.

As an HMI, you will be involved in every stage of our inspections: planning, conducting fieldwork, and drafting the final report. You will interview and hear from senior leaders, practitioners and use a wide range of data sources to form judgments. You will identify effective practice as well as areas for improvement; you will also make recommendations and contribute to final ratings.

The Inspectorate is committed to learning and development for all staff. Training will be provided in inspection skills and procedures.

Welsh language skills are essential for these roles.

Essential criteria

• be able to converse through the medium of Welsh when interacting with inspected bodies and their staff
• have worked at a senior level in a related profession, and have experience of interacting with senior stakeholders
• have experience of assessing performance against a set of established standards
• understand and/or be adept at using qualitative and quantitative analysis methods
• be able to interpret and extrapolate themes from large volumes of written and numerical data
• be able to assimilate large quantities of information from a range of sources and produce a report using a house style guide
• be confident and competent in using IT (you have experience using Word, MS Teams, Excel, Outlook, a reasonable amount of case management software, etc).

We are undertaking onsite inspections; HMIs will be expected to travel and spend time away from home. Travel, and subsistence payments will be made to cover these costs.

The rate paid for fee paid inspectors is £350 per day. Fee paid inspectors are classed as employed for tax purposes and are entitled to accrue holiday pay and the opportunity to join a workplace pension scheme.

Key requirements of the role

• Act as deputy lead, or support inspector as required
• Inspection planning, fieldwork and the preparation of reports
• Be responsible for the assessment of areas being inspected, including making recommendations for the rating they receive
• Lead the on-site team during the inspection process, manage relationships with key stakeholders including external partners in the inspection, the organisations and local management team
• Be accountable for judgements, ratings, and any recommendations arising from the inspection
• Lead and facilitate meetings with senior managers and staff, as well as staff from partnership organisations.
• Analyse and interpret data to make judgements and facilitate the writing of high-quality reports
• Undertake assessments of front-line practice, providing feedback to individual probation practitioners about their work
• Undertake work on joint inspection programmes, working collaboratively with colleagues from other Inspectorates
• Through appropriate leadership, role model and promote a culture that respects the Inspectorate’s values of being influential, independent, professional, inclusive, and diverse
• Keep abreast of the latest thinking and developments in probation and youth justice practice and understand the implications for professional practice.
• Personal resilience and stamina to spend time away from home, including lone working and self-motivation
• Recognise and promote diversity issues in all aspects of work.
