About PRASEG

PRASEG is the cross-party group for UK politicians and senior stakeholders that works to promote renewable and sustainable energy in Parliament and the wider political community. Active since 1979, the Group now has a Parliamentary membership of more than 80 Members from across the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The politics and debate about energy and climate are lively and dynamic. The work of PRASEG is vital to enhancing their quality and depth, in turn contributing to good political, policy and legislative outcomes.

The Role

The role entails a highly variable workload and requires a wide range of skills - the ability to work closely with politicians from different Parties as well as good administrative skills are essential. Budget formulation, event management (both small events and large conferences with multiple partners) and stakeholder management are all core competencies. The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate aptitude and enthusiasm across all these areas, along with a commitment to sustainability and equitably tackling climate change.

The specific responsibilities of the Manager include, but are not limited to:

• Planning and ensuring the delivery of a thematic programme of PRASEG events including policy seminars, briefings, the PRASEG Annual conference, as well as receptions etc. throughout the year
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with PRASEG’s broad range of Parliamentary and non-Parliamentary members and recruiting new members from both to join PRASEG.
• The effective organisation of the PRASEG membership system, including the processing of membership enquiries, applications and invoicing.
• Maintaining and developing PRASEG’s contact databases
• Day to day administration including budgeting, book-keeping, filing, payment and receipt of invoices and so on
• Promoting PRASEG activities, communicating with members and building PRASEG’s presence through the website, social media, mailings and other such activities
• Securing sponsorship for PRASEG activities.
• Preparing and disseminating policy briefings, and other such material relevant to the aims and work of PRASEG.
• Recruiting and managing the activities of any PRASEG staff and/or volunteers. 

In addition to having the basic skills previously outlined, the successful candidate will ideally have recent experience of working in the UK energy and/or climate sectors, an interest in UK politics, and be able to demonstrate a broad understanding of UK climate and energy policy. The successful candidate will need to be organised, self-motivated, entrepreneurial and committed to the approach PRASEG takes within the framework set by PRASEG Board.
