- 30 days annual leave (increasing to 35 after one years’ service).
- Generous pension scheme.
- Discounts from well-known brands and retailers.
- Parliamentary health and wellbeing programme.
- The opportunity to witness history in the making

The work we do is vital to House of Lords, and you will be a pivotal member in the team strengthening the work of the House. The House of Lords is the second chamber of the UK parliament. It is independent from and complements the work of the House of Commons to:

- Make laws.
- Check and challenge the actions of the government through questions and debates.
- Investigate public policy and provide a forum of independent expertise.

Job offers are standardly offered at the minimum of the salary range.
