What is the role of a Volunteer Probation Officer?


Updated by MSF

Volunteer Probation Officers (VPOs) work alongside MSF’s Probation Officers to guide probationers in leading resilient and fulfilling lives. VPOs can help to:


  • Befriend and mentor probationers

  • Conduct time restriction checks on probationers

  • Link probationers up with community resources, skills and strengths-based activities, employment opportunities and more

  • Share their knowledge and areas of expertise to support probationers to better navigate their own challenges (e.g. facilitate motivational or career guidance talks)

  • Plan and oversee Community Service projects


Contribute to the development of interventions/programmes.
