Independent Monitoring Board Volunteer - HMP Full Sutton HMP Millsike

Do you want to obtain skills in a new and interesting way?  Are you searching for ways to meet new people and fill your time? Maybe you're looking for ways to increase your confidence or develop your skillset and gain experience?  If so, then you could join our team of ordinary people doing an extraordinary role: independent monitors in prisons and immigration detention. All our members are unpaid public appointees, appointed by Ministers.  Join us at HMP Full Sutton or HMP Millsike. So why join? As one member says: “It could be the most rewarding thing you have ever done.”   You'll need to commit to a minimum of 12 hours every four weeks, plus travel time. You will be checking on conditions, talking to those who are detained and monitoring how they are treated.  We are looking for people who have the following qualities 

• integrity and honesty 
• ability to analyse situations and make decisions 
• commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion  Training and support will be provided during the 12-month induction period.  Although this is an unpaid role, we pay travel and subsistence expenses, childcare/carer costs.  Please visit www.imb.org.uk to find out more about our role and current vacancies. .
