IOM Government are seeking new lay members to serve in monitoring roles at secure facilities run by the Independent Monitoring Board and Parole Committee.

 

Vacancies within the IOM Prison, Adolescent Secure Care Home and IOM Parole Committee have arisen, requiring applicants who demonstrate an interest, commitment, energy and time to play a full part in the work of the organisations.

 

The work involved is confidential and criminal record checks will be carried out on successful candidates, prior to appointment. 

 

Minister at the Department of Home Affairs Bill Malarkey said: ‘’These are challenging roles and aside from attendance allowances and travel expenses, are unpaid. So anyone applying will have a strong drive to contribute their time and effort for the wider good. I know our members gain satisfaction and many rewards from their work, which includes regular visits to the facilities, to meet and listen to those who are held there. We’re keen to recruit members from different backgrounds across a wide age span, to reflect the community as broadly as possible.  I’d encourage anyone interested to get in touch.’     

 

Potential recruits can find out about opportunities at a drop-in day at Ramsey town hall on Saturday 23rd November and in the lobby area of the Sea Terminal, Douglas on Sunday 1st December, both stands operating from 10.30am until 4pm.

 

More information about the Independent Monitoring Boards and the Parole Committee can be found online here.
