The Employment Control Framework or ECF is a tool used to monitor staff numbers across the Civil Service. The ECF is set for each Vote. The Probation Service is part of the Department's Vote. I am advised the current serving staff by grade in the Probation Service in full time equivalent terms at the end of November 2014 is outlined in the table.

Grade Full Time Equivalent
Director1
Deputy Director4
Assistant Principal Regional Manager5
Senior Probation Officer 48
Professional Accountant1
Assistant Principal Officer2
Higher Executive Officer4
Probation Officer217
Locum Probation Officer 4
Executive Officer11
Clerical Officer 56
Service Officer 3
Community Service Supervisors42
Total398
In 2014, promotions were made to the grades of Deputy Director and Senior Probation Officer and a panel from which locum probation officers can be appointed was also established.
