Members for Independent Monitoring Boards - Prisons in England and Wales
ORGANIZATION: Idealist.org
Please visit the new page to apply.
Recruiting Organization: Independent Monitoring Boards
The Independent Monitoring Boards (IMB) helps to ensure that proper standards of care and decency are maintained in prisons across England and Wales.
We recruit for new members numerous times each year. Please visit our website for further information. If we are not currently looking for new members near you, please add your name to our register and we will contact you when a new opportunity arises in your area.
Applicants do not need any special qualifications or experience as we will provide all necessary training and support. Candidates need to be over 18 years of age and live within a reasonable distance of the prison (up to one hour travel time). You need to be enthusiastic, open minded, possess effective communication skills and have the ability to exercise sound, objective judgement.
We encourage applications from people from minority ethnic communities, young people, those of working age, and people with disabilities, as these groups are under-represented on our existing Boards.
This is an unpaid, voluntary role, but we pay your travel expenses and in certain circumstances, some loss of earnings and childcare/carer costs.
The time commitment is approximately 2 to 3 visits per month, although this will be higher in the first year as members go through induction into the role.
