Job Summary This position is based nationally Overview Job description Members of Independent Monitoring Boards (IMBs) are unpaid public appointees (volunteers) who provide statutory, independent scrutiny of the treatment and care of people in prisons and immigration detention. There are approximately 1200 IMB members, organised into around 130 Boards, each with its own Chair. They are appointed by ministers and operate in prisons and young offender institutions (run by HM Prison and Probation Service - MOJ), in immigration removal centres, various short-term holding facilities and on repatriation flights for those being removed from the UK (run by the Home Office). Lay Observers (LOs) are also unpaid public appointees, whose responsibility it is to check on the welfare of individuals in court custody suites and while they are traveling in the care and custody of escort contractors. As independent scrutiny bodies, IMBs and LOs have a growing public profile and play an increasingly crucial role in providing assurance to ministers and the public on the conditions and treatment of those held in detention. They are members of the UK’s National Preventive Mechanism, under the UK’s international human rights obligations to prevent torture and other ill-treatment of people in detention. They work closely with HM Inspectorate of Prisons and the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman, who also play a key part in the oversight and assurance of places of detention. The findings of IMBs and LOs are fed into the performance and scrutiny information used by government to contribute to prisons and immigration detention policy and process changes, in line with their commitment to ensuring safe, humane and effective places of detention.

The work of the Priority Projects Team The Priority Projects Team (PPT) is a high-profile, friendly, and supportive team working at the heart of the MoJ’s strategy function. We act as an in-house consultancy, working across the MoJ’s agenda, helping the department to deliver its highest priorities alongside policy, functions and operational teams. We do this by delivering defined projects to the highest standards. Each project is unique, fast-paced and exciting. Members of PPT typically work in small project teams lasting from a few weeks up to several months. We work closely with policy, functional and operational experts across the organisation. Occasionally, PPT members may work embedded in another team to undertake a specific piece of work.
