We are not currently recruiting.

Future vacancies will be advertised here.

Please note we do not accept CVs and covering letters. We select for interview through a blind review of responses to an online test and a series of skills based questions relevant to the role.

The Society is currently accepting interns only through academic programmes with work placement components, primarily via the Centre for Legislative Studies at the University of Hull. If this changes, information will be advertised on this page, on social media and via our e-newsletter, and on websites such as jobs.ac.uk / w4mpjobs.org.

As we are a small team we are currently unable to provide work experience placements outside such programmes.

News / Is the House of Lords going slow on the assisted dying bill? - Parliament Matters podcast, Episode 116

In this episode we look at the latest Covid Inquiry report addressing the lack of parliamentary scrutiny during the pandemic and the need for a better system for emergency law-making. With the Budget approaching, we explore how the Commons Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP, might discipline ministers who announce policies outside Parliament and why a little-known motion could restrict debate on the Finance Bill. Sir David Beamish assesses whether the flood of amendments to the assisted dying bill risks a filibuster and raises constitutional questions. Finally, we hear from Marsha de Cordova MP and Sandro Gozi MEP on their work to reset UK–EU relations through the Parliamentary Partnership Assembly. Please help us by completing our Listener Survey. It will only take a few minutes.
