The House of Commons is the democratically elected house of the UK Parliament, responsible for making laws and checking the work of Government.

The House of Commons is overseen by a group of MPs and others who make up the House of Commons Commission. The day to day running of the House is delegated by the Commission to the senior officials who form the House of Commons Executive Board.

It is a fascinating place to work, right at the heart of the UK's thriving democratic system.

**The role**
This role of Clerk of the House of Commons is an exciting and unique opportunity to contribute to the work of the UK Parliament at the highest level.

The Clerk of the House of Commons is an official member of the House of Commons Commission and chairs the Commons Executive Board. The postholder is appointed by the Crown as the chief adviser to the House on matters of parliamentary procedure, privilege and broader constitutional issues.

As Head of the House of Commons Administration of around 3000 staff, the Clerk provides strategic leadership and is ultimately responsible for the services provided to meet the strategic objectives of the administration of the House, through line management of and delegation to the Director General (Operations) of the House of Commons.

The Clerk chairs the House Administration’s Diversity and Inclusion Steering Group and must be able to demonstrate a strong personal commitment to those issues.

**Knowledge and experience**
This post requires experience in high-level decision-making and strategic people management, the ability to inspire a diverse workforce, strong interpersonal skills, political impartiality and sensitivity, and detailed knowledge and expert understanding of the practices and procedures of the House of Commons. The Clerk is often required to give such procedural advice without notice to the Speaker, and when required to the Deputy Speakers, the Leader of the House, the Shadow Leader, Members of the front benches and individual Members of the House, and must be able to draft or explain it quickly, clearly and accurately. Good communication skills are an essential requirement, as is the capacity to respond quickly to often fast-moving events, with high reputational risks.

**Next Steps and Additional Information**
- All applicants are required to provide the following:
- An anonymised CV (maximum three sides of A4) with your full employment history as well as any unpaid or community activity.
- A short supporting statement (maximum two sides of A4) giving evidence of the strength and depth of your ability to meet the criteria for the role. Please provide specific examples to demonstrate how you meet each of the criteria listed.
- The names and contact details for two referees. Please include the details in your CV.**The closing date is 8 March 2023 (midday).
