Job description

The purpose of the role is to support the Bishops of Hereford, Southwell and Nottingham, and Coventry in their duties as Members of the House of Lords. The work includes research and information gathering, drafting speeches and questions, managing meetings, appointments and other events on behalf of the Bishops and such other work as they and the Head of Parliamentary Affairs may require from time to time.

The Parliamentary and Policy Researcher's priorities and tasks will be determined by the Bishops, with whom the postholder will be expected to have frequent direct contact along with their key advisers. In conjunction with their offices, the Head of Parliamentary Affairs will manage, guide and oversee the parliamentary work of the postholder.

The Parliamentary and Policy Researcher will be based with the Parliamentary Team. This is located at Lambeth Palace, London , SE1 7JU (within the Church of England's wider Faith and Public Life Team), and at Church House, Westminster, SW1P 3AZ. Some flexibility, including home working, is possible, though there is an expectation that the postholder be available to attend Westminster.

40% of the postholder's working time will be spent in support of the Bishop of Hereford, 40% in support of the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham, and 20% in support of the Bishop of Coventry. Flexibility in the working pattern will be required, depending on the respective requirements of each, their commitments in the House of Lords, including duty weeks.

The work of the Bishops in the House of Lords is guided by their policy and local interests, as well as their status as religious leaders with a national profile. Both the Bishop of Hereford and the Bishop of Southwell and Nottingham have a shared concern for issues affecting rural communities.
Policy interests:
- Bishop of Hereford: Rural Affairs & Agriculture, Science & Technology. He chairs the Rural Bishops' Group and the Remuneration and Conditions sub-committee of the Archbishops' Council. He also serves as Clerk of the Closet to His Majesty the King (heading up the Ecclesiastical Household).
- Bishop of Southwell & Nottingham: Defence and the Military, Children (with a particular interest on children in care, Marriage & Families, Health and Social Care, Mental Health.
- Bishop of Coventry: Gender/Equalities, Reconciliation, Disability
As such the post may be well suited to someone who has particular experience of or interest in these areas of policy.

From time to time the postholder may also be called upon to add capacity to the Parliamentary Team by providing resource to other Lords Spiritual on policy areas they have become familiar with in their work for the Bishops of Hereford, Southwell & Nottingham, and Coventry.

The postholder will need to have access to the Parliamentary Estate, so will be required to apply for a security pass sponsored by one of the employing Bishops, and will be expected to abide by the rules and codes set by Parliament that accompany the issuing of a pass. The postholder will also have access to the facilities offered to Lambeth Palace and other NCI staff, observing the responsibilities and protocols which apply to all.

The balance between parliamentary tasks and those that relate to the Bishops' diocesan roles is likely to vary depending on the parliamentary cycle.

Interviews will be held on 18/05/2026 in London.
