volunteering at HMP Brixton

[Sunray Gardens]

Volunteers needed to work as members of the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) at HMP Brixton, a category C and D Resettlement prison for adult males.

IMB members monitor day-to-day life in their local prison to ensure that standards of decency and care are maintained. The work is unpaid, apart from reasonable travel and subsistence, and takes about 3 days per month, including a board meeting on the afternoon of the third Tuesday of each month.

The IMB role is about fairness and decency, and is always interesting, educational and challenging. You and your time will make a difference.

I can provide more information if you are interested. Or further details of how to apply from www.justice.gov.uk/jobs/independent-monitoring-board

Deadline for applications is 16 November 2014
