House of Lords
About Us
The House of Lords Administration supports the UK’s parliamentary democracy. Within the setting of a UNESCO world heritage site, over 700 employees work hard to deliver excellent services to the House of Lords and its members. We offer careers ranging from procedural specialists and researchers to HR, finance, catering and retail roles.
How to apply to us
Once you’ve found a role you are interested in and have registered with the House of Lords recruitment portal, we’ll usually ask you to submit your CV, supporting statement or online application form. Our application forms vary depending on the role requirements, and so you may be asked to submit one of the above or a combination.
We usually ask you to remove any personal information from your CV before you upload this. We use anonymised CVs and application forms to help tackle unconscious bias and ensure we’re assessing you on your skills and experience against the role requirements.
In addition to your CV, we will either ask you to submit a supporting statement or individual criterions. If you are asked to complete a supporting statement, you should provide evidence and examples against each of the essential criteria for the role in your answer. If the form asks for answers against individual criteria, you should focus each answer on the one criterion which will allow you to explore that requirement in more detail.
If you have any questions regarding the application form or if there is anything we can do to support you in completing this, contact our Recruitment Team.
