Do you thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment? Then this exciting opportunity to join the Shadow Sponsor Body within the Restoration and Renewal Programme at the House of Commons could be for you!

The Restoration and Renewal Programme was established to tackle the significant work that needs to be done to transform the Houses of Parliament to be fit for the future as the working home for our parliamentary democracy, welcoming to all and a celebration of our rich heritage.
