Te tĪma | The team:

When you work in Parliament, you don't just watch democracy in action, you're part of it.

And in the Office of the Clerk we work at its core, providing advisory services to the House of Representatives, directly assisting the House and its committees with the business of Parliament.


Mō te tūnga | About the role:

As a Deputy Clerk of Committee, you'll be the lead report writer within a team of staff who support one or more of Parliament's select committees.
