This is somewhere we all feel valued, respected and rewarded. Everyone who works here enjoys an excellent pension, flexibility, and career development. Through learning on the job, formal training and qualifications, you can move in different directions, and take your career where you want. You’ll also have the chance to help shape our future.
Fantastic flexibility
We’re here to make Parliament happen. And some roles can only be carried out in person, on the Parliamentary estate. But wherever possible, we offer hybrid working. This gives you the option of working remotely and onsite. We also offer compressed hours, so you’ll have plenty of flexibility to find the balance that works for you.
Supporting health and wellbeing
Your wellbeing is really important to us. Our in-house Parliamentary Health and Wellbeing Service is here to provide the advice and guidance that supports your health at work.
Some of the options available include:
- referrals to Occupational Health Therapists
- referrals to mental health and wellbeing support
- clinical nurse drop-in clinic for ill health and minor treatment
- onsite GP available to all (whether you’re based in the office or working remotely)
- annual flu vaccination clinic available to all
- health and wellbeing annual programme of events
- onsite support from our Parliamentary Mental Health First Aider network.
Helpful workplace adjustments
We’re always ready to offer a range of reasonable adjustments, including:
- assistive technology such as software or hardware.
- speech recognition software or large computer screens.
- ergonomics such as chairs and standing desk.
Friendly onsite nursery
Sometimes, you just need a helping hand. The House of Commons Nursery is a modern, welcoming facility with capacity for 40 children, aged from three months to five years.
Caring for carers
We look after the people who support others. As part of this, we provide the parents and carers in our workforce with a variety of leave options, including:
- maternity, paternity, shared parental and adoption
- caring leave
- special leave
Special leave for veterans
We take extra steps to support our community of veterans. If you’re a member of the auxiliary or reserve forces, you may be granted special leave (typically unpaid).
When you receive a call-up notice to attend training courses or camps, this leave will be granted for the period of your absence.
