To be confirmed

The Participation Team works to engage citizens and shape Parliament in the interests of the public. We reach out to communities and audiences across the UK, promoting an understanding of the role and relevance of both Houses, inspiring people to get involved and empowering citizens to have a voice. 

R&R presents a unique opportunity and a huge challenge in respect of the Participation Team’s work; collaborating with teams across both Houses to maximise these opportunities is a key priority for the Participation team. Three initial workstreams will be established within Participation covering preparations for decant, public access and engagement during R&R and future ambition/planning.

This is a new role to support the work of the Participation team in preparing for Restoration and Renewal. The Public Access and Engagement Workstream Lead will be responsible for exploring the opportunities and potential for public access and engagement during R&R, supporting the teams across Participation in planning for and managing the transition to the new arrangements and acting as a liaison between the Participation team, R&R programmes and the wider Public Engagement Group.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity to plan and lead change, working with stakeholders at all levels and in collaboration with other significant programmes being delivered across Parliament.

The Person

  • Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to develop strong, positive relationships and build credibility quickly; experience of successfully working with a range of internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
  • Strong relationship management skills; experience of negotiating and influencing at a senior level and delivering effectively on projects with multiple stakeholders.
