About Us

Speak to us and you will discover we speak the same language as you. We know the difference between ISSP and YIP, plus what makes up a good equal ops PSR. That’s because we operate solely within the youth justice and Probation fields. So if you are looking for a specialist or generic post we will understand exactly the type of work you seek. We pride ourselves on finding good job matches, which is probably why over 6/10 of interviews arranged by Backstop in 2009 have turned into placements (figures available on request - we are now calculating for 2010). 

Backstop to assist funding PCEP

Here at Backstop we strongly believe in your professional development. You will already know this because of the Professional Development Scheme we offer to all our active locums. In particular we feel that the Professional Certificate in Effective Practice (PCEP - through the Open University) is a valuable Certificate to gain if you want to further your career in Youth Justice, and therefore we would like to help you pay for the course. Please speak to your Recruitment Consultant if you are interested. 

Be first to hear about temporary vacancies

Our specialist knowledge is recognised with the criminal justice field by recruiting managers and organisations, so we are often the first agency contacted when a vacancy occurs.

We are also a Tier 1 supplier to Comensura and Matrix.

Pay

Because we fully understand the market where you operate we are well placed to negotiate the highest rates of pay for you.

Ongoing support

Once placed, we will maintain regular contact and provide support and advice when you want it. Our aim is to ensure that there is no gap between your placements
