The IMB plays a crucial role in the independent oversight of prisons within Northern Ireland, with Members acting as impartial observers of all aspects of the prison regime.

This is a voluntary role where you can make a real difference in people’s lives and learn new skills.

IMB Members are a regular presence in the prison establishments, reporting on the conditions in detention and the treatment of prisoners.

This experience also provides you with the opportunity to gain transferable employment skills such as decision-making, teamwork and influencing others.

No formal qualifications are required, and this opportunity is open to all over 18 years.

It is more important that volunteers are effective communicators, enthusiastic, open-minded, empathetic and able to make sound, objective judgements.

For further information and how to apply, visit the DoJ website.

The deadline for completed applications is noon on Friday 27 October 2023.

Applications received after this date will be held by the Department for consideration at a later date.
