Why Use Hive?

There is nothing we don’t know about employing staff and running a Parliamentary office (please feel free to test us!)

We know how time consuming recruitment and HR can be, and it’s probably not what you and your team came to Parliament to spend your time focusing on.

Getting it wrong can be costly and disruptive and it’s hard to stretch your staffing budget to find an experienced HR Manager.

By using a centralised service, you can utilise our experience, ensure your office fully complies with modern employment practices and prioritise your staffing budget towards Parliamentary and constituency work.

Our independent, professional service will support you to be a good employer and help to raise employment standards across Parliament.

Recruitment

£1750 inc VAT

Recruiting the right people can take a significant amount of time. We can take that task off your hands and make sure the process is fair, open and legally compliant.

We have invested in digital applicant tracking systems that allow us to provide a better recruitment experience both for applicants and for you and your team. We widen the pool we recruit from, and our software makes the process of shortlisting and selecting your new staff much easier.

Whether you staff in the constituency or in Westminster, we will present you with a shortlist of suitable candidates to interview, and then assist you with the necessary paperwork to meet IPSA’s requirements.

Casework Support

£900 inc VAT

Whether you need help to clear a backlog, or cover for staff absence or during recruitment, we can provide flexible solutions to meet your needs.

Our temporary caseworkers are all highly experienced in working for MPs and helping them communicate with their constituents. They can help you streamline your caseworking processes if needed, or just provide drafting services for your local, personal, policy or campaign casework.

We will work with your team to ensure our staff are meeting the office requirements and working in accordance with your internal procedures.

As a new MP in a ‘red wall’ seat, I was faced with the daunting task of setting up a team and establishing an office from scratch when I hadn’t necessarily expected to win. Hive’s support and mentoring has provided me with the structure and experience of an established team and given us the essential tools to navigate the maze of Parliamentary life. I cannot understate the value of investing in Hive’s services or the positive impact their friendly, professional and highly capable team have had on my first few months as an MP.

Chris Clarkson MP

Representing Heywood and Middleton

"Really valuable course, have also been able to ask follow up questions and advice which was really helpful. As a constituency office with caseworkers that have no parliamentary experience this was such a helpful course - if only we'd had it in month one!"

Caseworker Training Candidate

"Really useful sessions, the trainer was great and took the time to talk us in detail about our office protocols and adapting the training to fit"

Bespoke Office Caseworker Training Candidate

"I thoroughly enjoyed the session and although somewhat daunted by the homework task, it pushed me out of my comfort zone and the feedback was invaluable. Overall the session offered excellent value for money and the content was outstanding. Would definitely be interested to learn of any future courses."
