The task of the Parliamentary Office is to establish the necessary conditions for Parliament to carry out the duties belonging to it as a branch of state. The Parliamentary Office functions under the supervision of the Office Commission and it consists of some 400 civil servants.

The Parliamentary Office's six departments and units work under the Secretary-General focusing on legislative and committee work, international affairs, communications and information services, administration as well as the security of Parliament.

In addition to civil servants, MPs’ assistants work in the Parliamentary Office. Those interested in the work of an MP’s assistant can contact an MP or parliamentary group directly.

In accordance with the strategy, the management and operation of the Parliamentary Office are guided by the values of openness, competence, reliability, and cooperation. We foster our personnel's skills and well-being at work by offering interesting and varied tasks as well as versatile training, exercise, and recreation opportunities. Our personnel has access to high-quality and comprehensive occupational health care services. Flexible working hours and remote work possibilities according to work duties make it easier to reconcile work and private life.
