**Job summary**:
The House of Lords plays an important role as the second chamber of the UK Parliament. It has approximately 800 members and is independent from, and complements the work of, the elected House of Commons. The Lords has three main roles: helping to make laws; investigating public policy, especially through its select committee work; and holding government to account through questions and debates. There are considerable challenges for the UK Parliament as a whole, and the Lords specifically, and the House is very much in the public eye.

The Communications team is here to increase understanding of the role and membership of the House; promote the impact and outcomes of its work; demonstrate its relevance to UK citizens; ensure that the House is open and accountable to the public; and deliver the best possible internal communications to members and staff.

It provides an enquiry service for members of the public, promotes the work of the House to the press and media, runs marketing activities and engagement events, produces publications, manages web and social media content, and communicates with the staff and members of the House. Lords staff are strictly impartial, supporting the work of the entire House and all its members.

**Job description**:
This post offers a great opportunity to embark on a career in communications in a busy but supportive comms office at the heart of the UK's political and constitutional system.

The Communications Assistant will work alongside experienced members of staff, developing through formal training, coaching and hands-on experience the broad range of skills needed to operate as a professional communicator. Previous holders of this role have gone on to secure more senior positions within our comms team.

The Communications Assistant will work with, and learn from, members of the Enquiry Team, Press Team, Marketing & Digital Comms and Internal Comms teams. They will gain a thorough understanding of the department’s work, teams’ particular skills and responsibilities, and how they contribute towards achieving the Lords’ strategic communication goals.

**Person specification**:

- ** Teamworking**: Ability to work well within a team and support other team members.
- **
Independent**: Ability to work independently.
- **
Flexibility**: Flexible, adaptable and able to deal with change.
- **
Interpersonal skills**: Good interpersonal and communications skills, both orally and in writing.
- **
Attention to detail**: Excellent attention to detail.
- **
Organisation skills**: Excellent time management, organisational skills and the ability to manage own schedule.
