As a parliamentary reporter, working to tight deadlines, you will transcribe what MPs say in the Westminster Hall Chamber and in Committees, as well as evidence given by expert witnesses to Select Committees.

- Follow Hansard guidance on in-house reporting style and parliamentary procedure
- Check the accuracy of all spellings, names and quotations
- Work with other parliamentary reporters and sub-editors to ensure that reports are accurate and consistent

**Person specification**:

- The ability to understand complex arguments and report them clearly, and to develop a good understanding of politics and Parliament.
- Strong English language skills, including impeccable spelling and an understanding of sentence structure and grammar.
- The ability to work quickly, independently and flexibly when under pressure, and to meet defined deadlines.
- Good interpersonal skills, and an ability to work effectively with people from different backgrounds, upholding our values of inclusion, diversity and acceptance.
- Proficient in the use of the Microsoft Office suite, and able to become proficient quickly in the use of new software systems.

**Benefits**:

- Learning and development tailored to your role
- An environment with flexible working options
- A culture encouraging inclusion and diversity
- A Civil Service pension with an average employer contribution of 27%
