We’re looking for a Public Affairs Assistant to join our External Affairs team. This is a brand new role at the ABI and exciting opportunity for anyone with a passion for politics and an interest beyond Westminster.

You’ll be working alongside the Head of Public Policy on the ABI’s public affairs work in the devolved nations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It’s a varied and fast-paced role with the opportunity to show your talents for policy analysis on behalf of ABI members and colleagues; producing ABI submissions for parliaments and governments; engaging with Ministers, their officials and with Members of the Scottish Parliament, Senedd and Northern Ireland Assembly.

Sounds like a dream job but taking you out of your comfort zone? Don’t worry – we can offer you the training and support to get you up to speed.

Please note we are open to applications from those who wish to work on a flexible and/or job share basis. The successful candidate will be expected to work primarily from Edinburgh with some travel to our London office from time to time; there is some flexibility on home location. However, due to COVID-19, we’re currently working from home.
