Much of the detailed work of the Assembly is done by committees, made up of MLAs from across the parties. A major element of committee work is conducting inquiries into issues important to our communities. Committees are supported by the Office’s Committee Support unit whose staff manage the day to day operation of committees and their inquiries by providing impartial procedural advice and practical support through activities such as drafting committee reports meeting papers and other documents, research, organising hearings, and administration.
**Note**: There is a permanent and a number of temporary positions available. The temporary positions are available for up to six months with the possibility of extension up to 12 months and/or permanency. A merit pool may be established from this selection process and be used to fill future vacancies within the Committee Support team over the next 12 months.
**How to Apply**:Please submit a written response (maximum 1,500 words) to the criteria in the ‘What we are looking for’ section in the Position Description including specific examples, along with your curriculum vitae and the names and contact details of two referees (preferably including a current supervisor).
