Job summary:
We are looking for an enthusiastic and organised individual for the position of Assistant Private Secretary to the Minister of State for Defence in the House of Lords (MinLords), at Executive Officer grade.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a Ministerial Private Office and work across a broad spectrum of departmental and parliamentary business, gaining invaluable experience along the way.
What is an Assistant Private Secretary?
Ministers each have a support team of Private Secretaries known collectively as a Private Office who run their diaries, scrutinise work submitted by the department for approvals, facilitate parliamentary business, prioritise domestic and international engagement, and advise on the best course of action for strategic decision-making.

In Defence, one of those Ministers is a House of Lords Peer (as opposed to a House of Commons MP), and is referred to internally by the shorthand 'MinLords'.

- Building a programme of engagement with Defence Opinion Leaders (thinktanks, journalists, academic journals, personalities) to promote the work of the Minister and the department
- Responding to invitations, Freedom of Information Requests (FOIs), written correspondence with MPs and Peers, and general queries coming in from members of the public.
