MPST sits within the Corporate Strategy Directorate, which provides strategic oversight of the department, including governance, coordinating legislative priorities, and preparing for fiscal events such as the Budget and Spending Reviews.

The Parliamentary Team works closely with ministers and their private offices, special advisers and the wider department to manage the department’s relationship with Parliament.

The Parliamentary Team is a fast-paced and friendly team and offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into all areas of the department’s work and build expertise across a wide range of interesting areas.

You may also support the answering of Written Parliamentary Questions and provide support on mailbox management, and parliamentary research and administration.

This is an important role that involves working closely with ministerial private offices, other government departments, and parliamentary stakeholders. Regular access to the parliamentary estate will be required to deliver papers and documents.

The role requires being able to work under pressure, to a high standard and with excellent attention to detail. You will need to be able to work in a fast-paced environment, be confident communicating with a variety of colleagues and senior stakeholders, and have a proven ability to build relationships.

**Person specification**:
