Employees of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia (Assembly) provide professional non-partisan services to support the democratic institution of Parliament and its members through procedural advice, administrative support and information services. The Assembly is an autonomous employer, separate from the administrative framework of B.C. government ministries and agencies.

The Sergeant-at-Arms department is seeking three attentive, diplomatic, and customer service-oriented individuals for the auxiliary as-and-when required position of Sessional Officer.

Reporting to the Gallery, Chamber, Corridor, or Security Scanning Supervisor, the Sessional Officers facilitate and control access of MLAs and others who have legitimate access to the Chamber, galleries, corridors, and/or committee rooms, and provide security-related duties during House sittings, committee meetings and support the security screening process for all members of the public who enter the Parliament Building. They prepare the Chamber, galleries, corridors and associated rooms and facilities for use and secure them afterwards. The position must be cognizant of the high profile of the Legislature and ensure all undertaken issues are handled with tact and discretion and follow protocol.

Sessional Officers work a fluctuating work schedule. Work hours are as-needed and can fall between 8:30am and 7:00pm, Mondays through Thursdays when the House is in session. Other work is available during visitor hours on an as needed basis when the House is not in session. Visitor hours are 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Friday and are seven days per week during the summer months. For more information about the sessional schedule, please view the parliamentary calendar on our website Parliamentary-Calendar-2024.pdf (leg.bc.ca).
