Summary

JOB DESCRIPTION AND PERSON SPECIFICATION

Administrative Officer

“Thank you for showing an interest in the Parole Board”.

The Parole Board is an independent court-like body that is responsible for carrying out risk assessments on prisoners to determine whether they can be safely released into the community. We do that with great care and public protection is our top priority.

All Parole Board decisions are solely focused on whether a prisoner would represent a significant risk to the public after release. Not all decisions Members make are popular, but they make these decisions fairly and objectively. The Parole Board covers parole work across England and Wales, including conducting hearings across all prisons and working with witnesses from the probation service, prison service, psychology as well as with legal representatives. So – we are both complex and we are interesting!

The Board is made up of about 220 members of secretariat staff based in our London Head Office and approximately 340 Members who make decisions on risk and hold hearings at prisons around the country.

The Parole Board is an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Ministry of Justice. Staff who work for the Parole Board Secretariat are Public Servants and not Civil Servants.
