At-Home Videographer Volunteer

Half of The International Humanity Foundation’s (IHF) mission is to educate the poor and the other half is to educate the world about the poor. We strive for a world of leaders and citizens who have interacted with, and are truly knowledgeable about the world's poor. We believe in a "pass it on" philosophy where education is free and available for all who seek it. Those of us who have received a free education pass it on by helping others less fortunate by teaching, interacting and learning. With just a few hours a week, our volunteers, children and sponsors are changing the world we live in. IHF is a non-religious, non-political, non-profit organization that strongly believes in an equal opportunity for all and in preserving the cultures, traditions and beliefs of the marginalized communities it works in.

IHF is currently seeking At-Home Volunteers for our Videographers Team. The role includes showcasing your art to individuals and organisations from all across the globe. This position provides global training and global connections from your home, at your convenience. Our At-Home Volunteers come from around the world and form online teams essential to our Children’s Homes and Community Centers. 

Volunteering in this division provides a great opportunity to further your understanding of videographing through the fascinating world of an international non-profit organisation, boost your CV, and to explore your skills and methods to generate content for various media and projects. 

Please note this is a volunteering position. 

For more information and to apply, visit our website and provide your CV. Our team will get in contact with you within 24 hours.

Every day ordinary people do an extraordinary job monitoring conditions for people in custody to make sure that they are treated with fairness and respect.

The IMB at HMP Isle of Wight is recruiting new members who live within 20 miles of the HMP Isle of Wight and can commit the time to 2 to 3 visits per month although this may be slightly higher during the first year of training.  and this can be flexible depending on the needs of the Board and the individual

Who are the IMB?

We’re a group of ordinary members of the public, doing an extraordinary job. As a passionate, personable individual, you could join us in making a difference. In this unpaid role, you’ll volunteer your talent and time towards securing a decent day-to-day life for every prisoner and detainee. Under the guidance of dedicated mentors and an extensive training programme, you’ll commit to a flexible schedule of visits to a local establishment each month, with travel and subsistence expenses paid. Your observations will have an impact as your Board reports its findings to Ministers in Her Majesty’s Government. 

About the role

With unrestricted access to these unique environments, you’ll gain a rare insight into all aspects of life in custody. Impartial and highly influential, you can decide what shape your visits should take. As an independent monitor, you may spend time in a specific part of the prison or choose to have your conversations with prisoners or detainees out of sight or hearing of a member of staff. As well as keeping a close eye on daily operations, you’ll play a crucial role in dealing with problems that arise. This could be in response to a confidential request to see a member of the IMB, or to observe the management of the more serious incidents that occur.

Why join us?

More than anything else, this is a rewarding opportunity that makes a real and meaningful difference to the lives of prisoners, detainees and our wider society. Ministers are obliged to respond to the issues raised in your Board’s report.  The environment may seem intimidating at first, but you will be fully supported through your training and accompanied during your visits until you feel ready to manage independently. This highly recognised and respected role could provide the experience that opens doors into other careers within the justice system.

Who are we looking for?

There is no one type of person who could be right for the IMB because it’s not about background or skillset. It’s about having the dedication and passion to ensure all people are being treated fairly For that reason, we’re looking for individuals from all walks of life who will approach the role with no preconceptions. You will need to be willing to work within a challenging environment and have the confidence to report your findings to senior figures. Most importantly, you will be able to talk to people in a way that makes each prisoner or detainee feel respected and reassured.

Please apply via our website, quoting reference: 1106/Isle of Wight/2021

Closing date for completed returned applications: 11/07/2021
