Introduction
The Speaker's Office has 25 staff and the work they do ranges from ensuring that the business in the Chamber runs smoothly (producing speaking lists, processing requests for urgent questions and ministerial statements, giving the Speaker guidance when in the Chair), responding to Members, colleagues and public about points of procedure, arranging events with internal and external key stakeholders, as well as supporting the Speaker in his various roles.
The Role
The Speaker's Office Heritage Apprentice provides support to the Collection Care and Interpretation Manager and the wider Speaker's Office. The role provides an opportunity to gain experience working in a unique office within a UNESCO world heritage site where you will support a varied range of work within the historic State Apartments in Speaker's House. This role would particularly suit someone who is interested in developing a career in the cultural heritage and museum sector.
This role will focus on the heritage functions within the office, which will include booking requests to move historic objects, arranging tours of the State Apartments in Speaker's House, and updating documents to record information and the location of objects. You will also support events taking place in Speaker's House and the wider parliamentary estate.
As part of this role, you'll undertake a Business Administration Apprenticeship at Level 3. This is the academic equivalent of two 'A' Levels.
They will enrol you onto the apprenticeship shortly after you join, and it will typically take 18 months to complete. You will complete training for 20% of your time, including from an apprenticeship training provider.
