The Role

The Office of Speaker’s Counsel provides legal advice to Mr Speaker, the Clerk of the House and all the staff teams in the House.

The Office consists of fifteen qualified lawyers (a mixture of solicitors and barristers), with the support of a part-time paralegal and this new post. Its work falls into four main areas: general legal advice, scrutiny of domestic legislation, support for the European Scrutiny Committee and the Committee on Exiting the European Union, and support for the Joint Committee on Human Rights.

This post has been created to provide administrative and paralegal support for the whole office; the increase in the team’s size in recent years has led to an increase in administrative and support work that would be better done by a dedicated team member than piecemeal by individual lawyers.



The Person

The successful candidate will have the following skills/experience:

  • Good written and oral communication skills, including the ability to communicate clearly and concisely with senior stakeholders.
  • Excellent knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, particularly Word and Excel.
  • Good time management and logistical skills, including in particular the ability to produce detailed work under pressure and to deadlines.
