Job Description

The House of Commons’ Procedural Services is currently looking to staff the Deputy Principal Clerk (with Table Duty) position.

This recruitment and selection process is restricted to House of Commons Administration employees and parliamentary partners.

Deputy Principal Clerks act as front-line managers in overseeing the work of the various Branches within Procedural Services (House Proceedings, Committees and Legislative Services, International and Interparliamentary Affairs and Parliamentary Information), including hiring professional and support staff, engaging in collective bargaining, and ensuring training opportunities and the professional development of their teams

You will also be responsible for providing expert information, advice and administrative, research and logistical support services related to parliamentary and legislative activities.

In collaboration with other Deputy Principal Clerks, you will actively contribute to managing all activities within Procedural Services, including the frequent redeployment of professional employees, thereby enabling them to gain a wide range of experience throughout their careers.

Deputy Principal Clerks also act as representatives of the Procedural Services management team on a variety of corporate working groups and steering committees.

You will also work as a Table Officer, providing, together with a team of colleagues from the House Administration, expert support for and advice regarding the procedural and logistical management of sittings of the House of Commons Chamber, including to Chair Occupants, Members and their staff. You will also be called on by clients to help facilitate their access to the range of services provided by the Administration.

You can be assigned to any one of several positions within Procedural Services and must be prepared to be reassigned at any time, sometimes on short notice, due to operational requirements.

The combination of these two characteristics, namely the rotational nature of the position and the Table Officer role, give the Deputy Principal Clerk position an added complexity and challenge unique among otherwise comparable managerial positions.

This position offers a hybrid work option, with no pre-determined number of telework days per week. On-site presence will be determined by operational needs and the specific duties associated with the role.

Through this recruitment process, a position will be staffed on an indeterminate (permanent) basis and, in addition, to create a pool of candidates.

Top Reasons to Join the Procedural Services team:

This opportunity allows you to work in a collaborative environment within a multidisciplinary team across Procedural Services. The rotational nature of the position gives the Deputy Principal Clerk an opportunity to develop diversified experience and to tackle unique and engaging challenges. You will have the chance to provide impartial and non-partisan advice in support of Canada’s democratic process while interacting with Members of Parliament.

  • Training and development opportunities
  • Work-life balance /35-hour workweek
  • 4 weeks’ vacation (minimum)

Qualifications

Education :

  • University degree, preferably in law, political science, social science, public administration or a related field, or the equivalent experience.

Experiences :

  • Significant experience involving the provision of support to parliamentary activities;
  • Significant experience in the study, interpretation, application, and provision of advice about parliamentary rules and procedures;
  • Significant experience in the management, planning and coordinating complex projects involving multiple partners;
  • Significant supervisory experience.
