Deputy Clerk of Committee

1 week ago


Wellington City, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

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.

**Te tīma - The team**:
Select Committee Services support committees with the administrative, procedural, and reporting back aspects of their work.

**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 committees. As well as attending committee meetings and supporting the committee's programme of work, you'll have the opportunity to work with MPs scrutinising government agencies, legislation, petitions, and international treaties.

**Ngā haepapa - Responsibilities**:
Working for the Office of the Clerk in a politically neutral environment, your clear and concise written and verbal communications skills will be invaluable as you:

- draft reports on behalf of committees
- liaise with departmental advisers and submitters
- confidently present the results of your work to MPs.

As a Deputy Clerk you will support the other members of your secretariat, sometimes stepping into the shoes of a Committee Clerk, and sometimes assisting with meeting administration.

**These tasks may include**:

- coordinating a committee's programme of work
- briefing committee chairpersons
- providing advice on parliamentary procedures.

**Tō kete - What you will bring to the role**:
You will be a skilled, efficient self-starter who has been described as a high-performing team-player. You can work well with others and build strong working relationships. This role involves interacting with MPs, departmental advisers, and other parliamentary staff so you'll need to be articulate and demonstrate a high level of maturity and discretion.
Why work for Office of the Clerk?
- We actively represent our values of Courage, Integrity, Manaakitanga, Impartiality and Kaitiakitanga.
- We offer a thorough induction, on-going development and excellent working conditions
- We offer a range of benefits including study assistance, five weeks annual leave and flexible working arrangements. Our ever-changing environment we work in allows us to be part of the action at Parliament including attending question time, select committees and other key events.

The appointing salary range for this role is $74,203 to $81,926 per annum. Appointments will be based on skills and experience (please note, the full salary range extends beyond this to allow for tenure progression).
We are recruiting to fill a permanent and a fixed-term position until August 2024.
The Parliamentary Service and the Office of the Clerk appoint on merit and are committed to diversity and inclusion and good employer principles. We welcome applicants from all walks of life and value the experience that your point of difference brings.
