Work Experience at the House of Commons

The House of Commons work experience programme is being redesigned and will relaunch for applications in January 2024.

In the meantime you can view our current vacancies on the House of Commons Careers Portal. 

 

Application Process

When applications open, students will be able to apply on the House of Commons Careers Portal.

We encourage students to apply early if they are interested in participating in The Work Experience Scheme. Students will be asked to complete an application form outlining their interest in Parliament and those who are successful at this stage will be offered a Work Experience Placement.

We welcome applications from everyone regardless of age, disability, faith, ethnicity, race, gender identity, marital status, sex, sexual identity, caring responsibilities, and socio-economic background.
