Her father was also a local Liberal councillor and her parents got her involved in local campaigns as a child. Both her parents are now active supporters of the Labour Party. She attended Watford Grammar School for Girls where she was Head Girl and a contemporary of Geri Halliwell and the Conservative cabinet minister Priti Patel. She then read History at Queens' College, Cambridge, where she captained the ladies' football team, and graduated with a first in 1993.

In 1996, she became a political adviser for Harriet Harman, and her special adviser in the Department for Social Security after the 1997 election.〔 In 1998, when Harman was sacked from the government, Kendall resigned and was awarded a fellowship of the King's Fund, a health charity. She also wrote a series of research papers for the IPPR and was appointed as the Director of the Maternity Alliance, a charity for expectant mothers.〔 She was unsuccessful in an attempt to be selected as the Labour parliamentary candidate for Chesterfield for the 2001 general election.
