Independent Monitoring Boards
Monitoring Boards are made up of over a thousand unpaid volunteers operating in every prison in England and Wales, and every immigration detention facility across the UK.
Members are the eyes and ears of the public, appointed by ministers to perform a vital task: independent monitoring of prisons and immigration detention.
They report on whether the individuals held there are being treated fairly and humanely and whether prisoners are being given the support they need to turn their lives around. This can make a huge difference to the lives of those held within these facilities.
Board members are expected to undertake around 2-3 visits a month and attend Board meetings, flexibility will be considered where possible to accommodate work and care commitments.
Candidates will need to be over the age of 18
Please visit the IMB website for further information and to apply: https://www.imb.org.uk/join-now/current-vacancies
Candidates need to be enthusiastic, open-minded, possess effective communication skills and have the ability to exercise sound, objective judgement.
