To support the Parliamentary Officer in her day to day duties, which include managing the secretariats of the All Party Group on Sustainable Finance and the All Party Group on Air Pollution, and leading UK100’s parliamentary engagement.

This internship will consist of organising Zoom panel discussions with a range of important UK100 stakeholders including corporates, NGOs, APPGs and parliamentarians. You will also have the opportunity to develop political communications skills, including writing letters to Ministers, drafting suggested parliamentary questions for MPs, putting together newsletters and helping to develop the APPGs’ online presence. You will gain a thorough understanding of influence and advocacy in Westminster.

In addition to providing support on APPG work, you will assist UK100’s political team as engagement with key decision makers ramps up ahead of COP26.

We are looking for someone with experience of organising events, who has strong political awareness, excellent writing skills and a demonstrable interest in net zero, sustainable finance and air pollution. Experience of working for a parliamentarian, in local government, in public affairs or on a political campaign is desirable but not essential.

• Supporting the delivery of APPG online events, such as panel discussions, parliamentary briefings and roundtables.
• Drafting correspondence (emails/letters) to parliamentarians, ministers and UK100 stakeholders.
• Developing the APPGs’ online presence, including writing summaries of events for the APPG websites.
• Supporting the management of UK100’s parliamentary relationships.
