Next Wednesday (27 Nov) The House magazine will publish the first edition of a new bi-weekly newsletter, The Staff Room, written by and for MPs’ staff. It will meet the increasing professionalisation needs of its audience; you’ll learn how to support MPs with parliamentary duties, get training and career development tips, manage offices, use parliamentary facilities and much more.
However, it won’t just be work, work, work: those who sign up will also get invitations to exclusive events in Westminster and guidance on the best places to eat, drink and network around SW1. Sign up here.
At 11:00 every Wednesday, there is an MPs’ Office Managers’ Drop-in on Microsoft Teams.
During these meetings, you can learn about and discuss:
House of Commons updates
Security information
Information about Parliamentary Digital Services
Information about IPSA
Information and support relating to wellness and wellbeing
You also have the opportunity to put your questions to the Members’ Services Team and to other Office Managers about anything relevant to your work.
If you are an MP’s Office Manager (or if your office does not have one, an appropriate alternative) and have not received an invitation to the regular weekly drop-ins, please email your details to [email protected] and ask to be added.
