Job description

The Detention Gatekeeper (DGK) was introduced in June 2016 following Stephen Shaw's Review into the Welfare in Detention of Vulnerable Persons. As a cross-departmental and independent function within the Detention, Progression and Returns Command (DPRC), the DGK ensures that only suitable individuals enter the immigration detention estate.

Acting as a key safeguard, the DGK identifies and protects individuals who fall within the scope of the Adults at Risk in Immigration Detention Policy. The team promotes alternative removal routes wherever appropriate, ensuring that detention is used only as a last resort, particularly for those considered vulnerable. Where detention is necessary, the DGK seeks to ensure that any period of detention is kept to an absolute minimum.

The DGK considers referrals for detention from across the Home Office and is responsible for authorising admission into immigration detention for cases managed by the National Returns Command (NRC), Foreign National Offender Returns Command (FNO RC), Detained Asylum Casework (DAC), UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), Border Force and Special Cases Directorate (SCD).

Working in a fast-paced environment, the DGK makes effective, evidence-based decisions by applying detention and Adults at Risk in Immigration Detention policies, considering the prospect of removal, and balancing Home Office priorities.

Contributing to and support 2-3 internal thematic areas aside of operational duties, such as performance management, Wellbeing and stakeholder engagement.
Liaising with the Detainee Escorting and Population Management Unit (DEPMU) on a daily basis with regard to available detention space and capacities.
Communicating effectively with internal stakeholders, ensuring that problems and complaints are resolved in a timely fashion.
Using IT tools available as part of the referral and workflow process.
