The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO) currently employs over 100 staff working on investigations, research or a range of support roles. We look for a good mix of experience and support everyone working on investigations through accredited training to help them develop their skills.
We expect everyone at the PPO to behave fairly, honestly and impartially.
