- Experience working in archives.
- Excellent digital skills as working with physical and digital archives.
- Excellent Organisational skills.

- 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:
