As we head towards the next General Election, we’re looking for another Monitoring Executive to join our small and close-knit team. From day one, you’ll be helping to keep our valued clients informed of key developments across Parliament, as well as helping to produce summaries of debates and policy. It’s a fast-paced role that requires a focused attitude, willingness to pitch in and the ability to multitask. In return, we offer the chance to be a key member of our fantastic team, excellent benefits, on the job training (both in house and external) and the opportunity to become an expert on the UK Parliamentary system.
