Committee Content Officer

House of Lords - Committee Office

BELONG HERE. TOGETHER, WE MAKE PARLIAMENT HAPPEN.

As a Committee Content Officer in the Committee Office, you'll 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'll be part of a collaborative community, working alongside colleagues from a wide range of professions. Together, we make Parliament happen.

You'll be based on the Parliamentary Estate in Westminster - a unique working environment shaped by history and powered by the people who work here today.

What you'll be doing

Creating and editing content for online platforms is at the heart of this role, using content design principles, accessibility standards, and web best practice guidelines. A strong understanding of different communications channels and what makes content engaging is essential, enabling the development of high-quality digital outputs that effectively connect with users and promote the work of committees.

The role also includes 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.

Alongside content creation, there is a strong emphasis on collaboration and support. The role involves advising committee staff on content design and accessibility, and helping them build confidence in using digital tools, contributing to a culture of continuous learning and high standards across the organisation.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who can bring their skills and experience to make a meaningful contribution here.

You'll have:

• Strong experience of producing engaging online content and applying key principles of content design, accessibility, and online best practice, with experience of using a Content Management System or story-telling tools such as Shorthand.

• Excellent ability to simplify and adapt complex longform information clearly and persuasively; including adapting content for different channels and audiences.

• Experience of evaluating the reach and impact of digital content, including understanding analytics and gathering insight from data as well as best practice to make recommendations.

• Excellent stakeholder management skills and experience of working inclusively with colleagues and stakeholders of all levels, to ensure collaboration and shared objectives are negotiated and met.

• Experience of sourcing relevant audio-visual material to support online content and the ability to produce and edit basic audio-visual content including graphics and short videos.

• Sound decision-making skills with experience of effectively managing and prioritising multiple work streams and the ability to work proactively and independently to identify and resolve problems with minimal supervision.

It would be even better if you have (or are willing to learn):

• Experience of photography/filming using professional AV equipment

What you can expect

The Committee Content Officer plays a unique role in the Committee Office, working with different committees to understand their needs and advising them on the content, platforms, channels and approaches that would help them reach audiences. This is an ideal role if you enjoy working with a range of different people and thinking creatively about content!

You'll be part of a community that values your wellbeing, supports your development, and recognises the contribution you make.

You'll benefit from:

• 30 days annual leave (rising to 35 after one year), plus public holidays

• A generous Civil Service pension

• Access to learning and development across a wide range of roles and professions

• Support for your health and wellbeing

• The opportunity to be at the heart of UK parliamentary democracy
