Our teams come together to deliver excellent service to the Prime Minister while also making No10 a great place to work.

**Job description**:
This is a unique opportunity for anyone interested in working at the very heart of Government and providing a vital link between the Prime Minister and the public while sampling the breadth of policies across departments.

- Commissioning ministerial replies; briefings when necessary;
- Maintaining good relationships with key stakeholders;
- Providing team administrative support.
- Working with other Government Departments to secure their cooperation, build rapport, share best practice and foster a consistent approach to correspondence.

No.10 is a friendly and fascinating place to be, and the role provides an opportunity to see how it works and interacts with other parts of Government. You will be playing an important role in the way that the Prime Minister and Government are viewed externally, protecting their reputation, and keeping the public informed.

A good working knowledge of MS Office systems (Word, Outlook, Excel) is essential and an interest in current affairs is desired.
