The Work of the Private Office and Parliamentary Directorate

POP exists to support the work of Ministers both in how they interact with the Department’s various internal policy teams and operational arms, but also externally, including with Parliament and MoJ’s numerous stakeholders – organising their diaries, briefings, correspondence, and other written materials.

Role and purpose

The Private Office and Parliament Directorate is looking to recruit an SEO Speechwriter to support the MoJ’s speechwriting team.

The team sits at the heart of the ministerial private offices supporting ministers and MoJ senior leaders to communicate their ideas on the justice system in clear and compelling ways to a range of audiences.

Speechwriter – the role

We are looking for someone with excellent written and communication skills to join the speechwriting team at the Ministry of Justice.

Sitting within the Parliamentary and Private Office Directorate, you will have a vital role supporting the department’s ministerial team. You will research and craft original, creative, high-quality, and personalised content – helping our ministers to find their voice as they seek to influence the MoJ’s broad set of stakeholders.

This will include various set-piece speeches and supporting colleagues across the MoJ, for example in drafting op-eds for national newspapers and editing policy documents.

Your work will be a shop window for the MoJ’s work and will cover a wide range of subjects, from the Rule of Law to the role of rehabilitation, policy announcement speeches, to ceremonial occasions of state.

In a challenging, fast-paced environment, you will be expected to meet multiple deadlines as well as co-ordinating the grid of speechwriting projects.

A natural collaborator, you will work closely with colleagues in the press office, private offices, policy teams, and with our team of Special Advisers.

You will work in a fast-paced and exciting environment where you will need to research and write about the cornerstones of our democracy and society, including the rule of law, delivering justice and protecting the public.

You will take the lead with officials in identifying suitable speech material, while carrying out primary research to uncover relevant and compelling content, adjusting your prose style to match the tone and approach of individual ministers and senior leaders.
