Job description

HM Inspectorate of Prisons (HMI Prisons) for England and Wales is an independent inspectorate which reports on the treatment of, and conditions for, those in prison, young offender institutions and court custody suites in England and Wales, and immigration detention facilities in the United Kingdom. HMI Prisons also inspects Border Force customs custody (jointly with HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services) and secure training centres (jointly with Ofsted). By invitation, HMI Prisons inspects some military detention facilities, as well as prisons in Northern Ireland and in other jurisdictions with links to the UK, such as the Isle of Man.

The role of HM Inspectorate of Prisons is to provide independent scrutiny of the conditions for and treatment of prisoners and other detainees, promoting the concept of ‘healthy establishments’ in which staff work effectively to achieve positive outcomes for those detained and for the public.

The Inspectorate’s work constitutes an important part of the United Kingdom’s obligations under the Optional Protocol to the United Nations Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment of Punishment. This Protocol requires signatory states to have in place regular independent inspection of places of detention.

HM Inspectorate of Prisons is an Arm’s Length Body (ALB) of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). The Chief Inspector of Prisons is a Crown Appointee, while the staff of the Inspectorate are civil servants employed by the MoJ.

The established values of the Inspectorate are:

- Independence, impartiality and integrity are the foundations of our work.
- The experience of the detainee is at the heart of our inspections.
- Respect for human rights underpins our Expectations.
- We embrace diversity and are committed to pursuing equality of outcomes for all.
- We believe in the capacity of both individuals and organisations to change and improve, and that we have a part to play in initiating and encouraging change.

**About The Role**

His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) is looking for someone to join the Secretariat team as a Policy Officer on a full-time basis on a permanent contract.

The post holder will play a key role in the Policy Team, assisting the Chief Inspector in his engagement with policy makers and Parliament. The post holder will also have opportunities to work with HMIPs’ key stakeholders and be given the responsibility and autonomy to lead on significant pieces of work. This is an exciting role for someone who would like to develop their skills and knowledge in policy and parliamentary work and gain exposure to human rights issues and inspection methodologies.

The Policy Officer is managed by the Head of Policy, and the two posts make up the policy team at HMIP, which is part of the wider Secretariat team. The work of the Secretariat overall is managed by the Head of Secretariat.

The policy team carries out a range of functions, including monitoring policy and parliamentary developments; identifying and responding to consultations and parliamentary inquiries; preparing briefings for inspectors providing evidence; advising on human rights; assisting to develop Expectations; stakeholder engagement; and assisting the Chief Inspector and Deputy Inspector to safeguard HMIP’s independence and remit.

The team works with staff across HMIP and closely with the Chief Inspector, Deputy Chief Inspector, Head of Secretariat and the Communications and Publications team.

Our current working arrangements require attendance in our Canary Wharf office in London for three days per week, with the possibility of being in more depending on business needs. This role may involve occasional travel within the UK.

**Duties will include the following**:

- Monitoring and tracking policy and legislation to ensure the Chief Inspector and other HMIP colleagues are briefed on relevant developments
- Providing policy support to the Chief Inspector, Deputy Chief Inspector, Head of Policy and other inspectorate staff, including supporting and drafting briefing papers, consultation responses and ad hoc requests
- Assisting the Head of Policy to maintain stakeholder relationships and engagement, including attending meetings with stakeholders on behalf of HMIP
- Briefing the Chief Inspector and other HMIP staff ahead of appearances before parliamentary committees
- Supporting and providing policy advice for project work across the inspectorate, such as Expectation and methodology reviews and thematic inspections
- Providing support and policy advice to
