Human Rights Volunteer Roles
Job Description
Volunteer monitoring work with the IMB gives you the opportunity to make a real difference to people’s lives. You will listen to people in immigration detention and prisoners, talk to staff and see for yourself what is actually happening behind the walls.
The IMB is recruiting for new members at numerous prisons and at immigration detention centres across England, Wales, and Scotland and at short term/residential holding facilities across the UK. We are looking for people who live within approximately 40 miles of their closest establishment and can commit the time to make 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. Please visit the IMB website for a full list of all locations we are recruiting to.
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. Although this is an unpaid role, we pay travel and subsistence expenses, childcare or carer costs and, in certain circumstances, contributions towards loss of earnings. Your observations will have an impact as your Board reports its findings to Ministers in His 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 establishment and 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.
Closing date for completed applications is 29 April 2024.
Visit our website for more information and to complete the online application form.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

LiberArte addresses the profound challenge of disconnection. When we perceive ourselves as separate from others, we breed issues like racism, homophobia, sexism, xenophobia, and even environmental degradation. Our mistreatment of the Earth arises from this disconnection too— this idea that we are separate from nature instead of part of nature ourselves. LiberArte facilitates a reconnection through the transformative power of the arts—to ourselves, each other, and the Earth—fostering unity and healing divisions to cultivate a more harmonious, equitable, and sustainable world.

Every year, the private economy reaps $150 billion in illegal profit from human trafficking (Neithammer, 2020). An estimated 40 million individuals worldwide are lured into trafficking each year due to unemployment, debt, and desperation (Toney-Butler, Ladd, & Mittel, 2021). The majority of these individuals are women and girls (Toney-Butler, Ladd, & Mittel, 2021). Exploiters promise economic opportunities, job training, and financial assistance in exchange for labor, then they exploit workers through debt bondage and require free labor or even prostitution as a means of repayment (Polaris Project, 2015). Shyne is solely dedicated to career and professional development services for those who’ve experienced exploitation.
The organization tackles these challenges by providing survivors with opportunities for growth and self-sufficiency through career and business development initiatives. By equipping survivors with the skills and resources necessary to launch successful careers or businesses, Shyne not only provides immediate economic relief but also fosters long-term economic independence, thereby closing the wealth gap for survivors.

- Volunteer 2-3 hours per week for 1-2 months.
