**Communications Officer (HM Inspectorate of Prisons) - 74178**
**£35,405 - £39,000**
**London**:
His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Prisons for England and Wales (HM Inspectorate of Prisons) 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 police and 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.

The Inspectorate is led by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons. There are approximately 70 staff working for the Inspectorate, including full-time staff, secondees and a number of fee-paid associates. The Inspectorate is currently organised into six specialist inspection teams, a Research, Development and Thematic team and a Secretariat team. Each is headed by a team leader who, together with the Chief and Deputy Chief Inspector, form the corporate management of the Inspectorate. The small office-based teams consist of the Chief and Deputy Chief Inspectors and their personal secretaries, as well as the Research, Development and Thematics team and Secretariat team.

Office-based staff are accommodated in a HM Government shared hub building in Canary Wharf, London.
