ABOUT THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF TYNWALD

The Office of the Clerk of Tynwald provides a wide range of parliamentary and administrative services. The office is proud to deliver high-quality services to Tynwald and the public, and has a reputation for excellence both on and off the Isle of Man.
You will be joining a small, friendly and professional organisation of just over 30 people who work hard to deliver the wide range of services expected in a modern parliament.
Legislative Services is a division within the Office of the Clerk of Tynwald that supports Members of Tynwald in all three Chambers by organising the sittings, creating the Official Report and other publications, providing research services, undertaking committee secretariat services and administrative support.
The Table, Hansard and Publications Team sits within Legislative Services and delivers professional support for parliamentary sittings, including the creation of Order Papers and Question Papers; maintaining the Tynwald Register of Business and Written Question system; managing the Listen Again and Live streaming service; providing live updates on social media during sittings; and the production of Hansard known more formally as the ‘Official Report of Proceedings’: the ‘essentially verbatim’ record of everything said by Members during parliamentary sittings.
The work of this small office is varied and the post holder will be expected to contribute to other tasks, cover for other team members and, on occasion, assist with work in other areas of the Clerk of Tynwald’s Office.
