House of Commons

The House of Commons is a unique and exciting place to work right at the heart of the UK's thriving democratic system.

Behind the scenes, the House of Commons Service is made up of more than 3,000 employees who support and facilitate the smooth day to day running of the House. They provide professional services to Members of Parliament, their staff, and the wider parliamentary community.

Staff Benefits

In addition to your salary, we offer an attractive range of benefits including:

• 30 days’ annual leave (increasing to 35 days after first full leave year).
• Civil Service pension with an average employer contribution of 27%.
• Access to training and development.
• Flexible working.
• Interest free season ticket loan and bicycle loan.

Introduction

The Chamber and Participation Team (CPT) brings together all the disciplines that support the House of Commons Chamber within one coherent structure – the procedural offices that facilitate the core function of legislating, the operational teams who focus on ensuring that the Chamber runs effectively and efficiently, and the public-facing teams who promote Parliament’s role and seek to engage citizens across the UK with parliamentary business.

The Campaigns Assistant sits within the Education and Engagement Team who deliver face-to-face and online educational programmes and learning resources for schools, teachers, home educators and school-age children across the UK. We also manage engagement activities and campaigns that target the broader UK population, prioritising people and communities who are statistically less engaged with Parliament and Members’ work. Our well-established public engagement activities continue to expand. Over 1 million people participate in outreach and engagement activities across the UK through workshops, events and the annual UK Parliament Week.

There is also an opportunity to manage campaigns, such as the Lego Suffragette tour.

Some of the responsibilities for this role include:

• Provide administrative support to the Campaigns team.
• Manage, clean and interpret data for UK Parliament Week and other projects.
• Draft engaging communications suitable for a range of audiences and platforms.
• Liaise with external suppliers, ensuring all work is delivered on time and within budget.
• Management of the UK Parliament Week website.

Skills and Experience

To be successful in this role you will demonstrate:

• Enthusiasm for engaging the public with the work of UK Parliament.
• Good communication skills with the ability to express information in a clear way, and tailor messages for different audiences.
• Experience of working with data or Excel or Content Management Systems.
