About the House of Commons

The House of Commons is the elected lower house of the UK Parliament. It sits at the heart of British democracy — debating legislation, scrutinising government, and representing the public.

But beyond the chamber, thousands of people work behind the scenes to keep Parliament running. From HR professionals managing recruitment, to digital specialists transforming public engagement, to estates managers preserving one of the most historic buildings in the world.

This experience gives you a window into that world. You'll complete realistic workplace tasks across any of eight departments, guided by AI and built in partnership with the House of Commons itself.
