Bracknell, United Kingdom Westminster Forum Projects Full time

We're seeking an accomplished and diligent Conference Research Assistant to join our Editorial team. This multifaceted role entails helping produce conferences on key issues in policy affecting higher education and research that help move forward thinking for legislators, government, regulators and stakeholders affected by the important matters being discussed.

 

You'll work closely with different areas of our business, demonstrating diplomacy, sensitivity, and a commitment to delivering quality results in a timely manner.

 

Check out the programme of conferences on our website. Recent and upcoming conferences focus on: knowledge exchange, the research and quality excellence frameworks, research and innovation funding, student welfare, international students, HEI finances, spinouts and relationships with businesses and local government, career pathways, degree apprenticeships, HEI staff issues - and much more as policy, regulation, and the research and learning environment develop.  


Key Responsibilities:

  • Researching issues, emerging trends, possible speakers and contacts across the policy landscape to a brief
  • Helping make sure conferences are as up-to-date, relevant and inclusive as possible, with no interested parties left out of discussing important developments
  • Drafting agendas, invitations to delegates and speakers, and text for our website
  • Liaising with speakers and Parliamentary chairs
  • Attending and contributing to the smooth operation of our seminars and receptions - online, in Westminster and elsewhere in the UK


About You:

We're looking for an individual who embodies our company values, including a sense of service, strict impartiality, high ethical standards, and a business-like, fair, diplomatic and commercially focused outlook.


You will need to be a self-starter with focus on moving the organisation of your conferences forward.


Our ideal candidate will have:

  • Solid experience in policy, conference production, journalism, public affairs or similar fields
  • Exceptional written communication skills
  • Quick learning abilities to absorb our funding model and business practices
  • Strong diplomacy and problem-solving skills
  • Excellent organisational and time management skills
  • A can-do attitude, strong sense of responsibility, and natural willingness to help colleagues
  • Bright graduates - with exceptional aptitude and a professional outlook - will also be considered


Company Overview:

Westminster Forum Projects is a market leader in organising impartial, senior-level seminars on public policy. The company has its origins in the Westminster Parliament, and offers conferences on issues in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland and England. With sustained success over more than 20 years, our work enjoys considerable support from legislators, government, professional bodies, industry, the third sector, and interest groups. We thrive on a commercially-focused environment while upholding strong ethical standards, always aiming to enhance public policy and provide a balanced forum for discussion.


The Benefits:

  • A fast-paced, multi-tasking working environment with ample support from senior staff and peers.
