What you'll be doing
Are you a policy-savvy problem-solver who enjoys variety in your work? Join the Transport Select Committee team as a Committee Specialist (Railways Policy) and help scrutinise Government policy and spending on rail. You'll work directly with cross‑party MPs in a fast‑paced environment where today's headlines can become this afternoon's priorities.
You'll lead the Committee's railways portfolio-tracking rail reform, shaping inquiries, identifying expert witnesses, preparing concise briefings and lines of questioning for public hearings, and drafting high‑impact committee reports and correspondence. You'll also support media and public engagement activity and, as a small team that covers the full Department for Transport remit, you may turn your hand to topics from aviation and maritime to EVs and road safety.
Working collaboratively with colleagues across Select Committees and the House of Commons Library, you'll build stakeholder networks, keep the Committee plugged into developments across the rail sector, and help organise evidence sessions, visits and engagement events (potentially including overseas). Structured training, mentoring and on‑the‑job development will support you to thrive.
