The Role
The Conservative Party is seeking a highly organised, enthusiastic, and politically astute individual to join the diary team in the Private Office of The Leader of His Majesty’s Most Loyal Opposition. This is an exciting professional opportunity to work at the heart of the Conservative Party and support our responsibilities as the Official Opposition.
Success is prioritising good use of limited time; diary management is not an administrative task but a strategic one. No two days are the same in this role. Politics does not operate on a typical 9-to-5/Monday-to-Friday schedule, and this position requires a flexible and responsive approach to meet the everyday demands of this fast-paced environment. This is primarily an office-based role in Westminster, Central London.
This role requires a calm individual under pressure, who is focused on delivering high-quality support whilst maintaining confidentiality, has a positive can-do attitude coupled with being proactive, reliable, with attention to detail, and the ability to efficiently coordinate relationships at the highest levels.
