Southampton Itchen Conservative Association is looking for campaign volunteers to help both in the office and out in the constituency between now and the local elections in May 2019. Volunteers will report to the Campaign Manager, and will gain first hand experience in a grass roots political campaigning. The position will provide a great opportunity for volunteers to enhance their CVs: covering both professional office experience and an overview of local politics, the running of election campaigns and the production of campaign materials.

The specific tasks to be undertaken will vary – they may include, but not be limited to:
• Inputting of data from surveys and general data management
• Helping with canvassing, data collection and other campaigning
• Monitoring local press and local news
• Assisting with management of social media
• Volunteer engagement and recruitment
• Literature production and distribution

The Conservative Party is a voluntary organisation and the role advertised is a voluntary one. There are no set hours and responsibilities and you are free to come and go as you wish. The local party does provide reasonable travel and refreshment expenses to volunteers.

The Conservative office is located in Bitterne on the east of Southampton.
