Your responsibilities will be:
- Supporting the development and implementation of creative public affairs and political communications strategies for clients

- Demonstrating strong research skills and proactively keeping abreast of the news, political and social developments and trends in order to produce well written, concise and thorough research documents
- Being a trusted member of client teams and managing deadlines effectively, flagging well in advance if timings are not going to be met
- Proactively building knowledge of our clients’ sector, business and competitors. Actively looking for opportunities to learn more, taking time to read relevant trade media, white papers etc.
This is the job for you if:
- Have an active interest and growing understanding of politics and policy development across Government departments, the Opposition and relevant UK political institutions.
- Have a high standard of written work with excellent attention to detail
- Are a team player and enjoy variety and pace, and are adept at juggling competing priorities to tight timescales.
- Enjoy networking and are enthusiastic about life in Westminster, and are keen to attend iNHouse and external events and build your network

We're particularly looking for:
- A positive can-do attitude, and a desire to immerse yourself in life in Westminster
