Supporting a large client portfolio by sourcing, categorising and processing content from:

• Commons and Lords Hansard, and a number of other Parliamentary sources

The role involves reading content on an online dashboard and categorising it according to a taxonomy system, to tight deadlines.

There are a number of different shifts available when Parliament is sitting between 6am and 5pm, making it ideal for those with other commitments or for graduates or students looking to work part-time. The capacity to start at 6am GMT would be preferred.

We are seeking motivated team players with a keen eye for detail and ability to demonstrate an organised and deadline orientated approach to their work.

Applicants should possess a basic understanding of parliamentary processes and news cycles.

Previous experience in a public affairs or parliamentary role would be advantageous but is not strictly necessary.
