About the Role
As a Committee Content Officer in the Committee Office, you will play an important role in supporting the UK’s parliamentary democracy. Your work will help members of the House of Lords carry out their responsibilities effectively, contributing to something bigger than any one role. You will be based on the Parliamentary Estate in Westminster, a unique working environment shaped by history and powered by the people who work here today.

Creating and editing content for online platforms is at the heart of this role, applying content design principles, accessibility standards, and web best practice guidelines. You will develop high-quality digital outputs that effectively connect with users and promote the work of committees.

The role also involves sourcing and producing audio-visual content such as photography, graphics, and basic video, as well as commissioning more in-depth video projects when required. This ensures a varied and professional digital presence that reflects the importance and impact of committee work.

Collaboration and support are key aspects of the role. You will advise committee staff on content design and accessibility, helping them build confidence in using digital tools and contributing to a culture of continuous learning and high standards across the organisation.

You will be part of a community that values your wellbeing, supports your development, and recognises your contribution. Benefits include 30 days annual leave (rising to 35 after one year) plus public holidays, a generous Civil Service pension, access to learning and development opportunities, and support for your health and wellbeing.

Flexible working patterns such as hybrid working, job share, or adjusted hours may be supported where possible.
