Chair of North Sea Camp IMB Greg Cejer said: ‘Every prison has an IMB attached to it whose role is to ensure that Home Office rules and regulations are properly applied and proper standards of care and decency are maintained.”

Although the job is unpaid, expenses are covered.

The Board is looking for individuals who are enthusiastic, open minded, have good communication skills and can exercise sound and objective judgement.

“The Board would like to hear from anyone who is over 18 and lives within 35 miles of Boston,” said Mr Cejer.

“The Board is particularly keen to hear from anyone of working age, members of black and ethnic minority communities and women as these are under represented on the existing Board.”
