A graduate looking for a job in public affairs? An experienced lobbyist looking for a step up the ladder? Below is a selection of sites where vacancies in public affairs jobs can be regularly found. The job market in lobbying is an extremely competitive one, particularly for graduates. However, growth in the industry and the rapid labour turnover of many consultancies ensures that there are regularly new opportunities available.

If you unsure public affairs is the right direction for you, we have listed some gateways to alternative options too.
