The role would suit a self motivated, competent and confident individual who can work on their own whilst also being a strong team player, working closely with the constituency office team. Some knowledge and experience of working in Parliament is also required.

Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Undertaking research, usually from readily available sources, on straightforward subjects. You may be asked to attend APPG meetings on an adhoc basis.
• Progress and respond to casework on matters pertaining to policy.
• Analyse, evaluate, and interpret data to ensure Kieran is accurately informed on key issues.
• Develop and maintain current knowledge of bills, Early Day Motions, legislation, Hansard and debates.
• Ensure that Kieran is fully briefed on potential questions and motions to be put to the House.
• Prepare and present briefing notes for committees, press releases, and parliamentary questions.
• Assist with Kieran's e-newsletter and newspaper column.
• Provide generalist diary and admin support in the Westminster office.
• Look after visitors, arrange tours and PMQ tickets for Constituents - once restrictions are lifted.
• Some project work may be required.
• There may be some occasional travel between the constituency and Westminster offices.

The successful candidate will have:

• A keen political awareness and be sympathetic to the values of the Conservative Party.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work as part of a team.
• Experience of working in the House and a broad knowledge of political protocol and procedures.

Current coronavirus restrictions mean that in the first instance your work may need to take place remotely, but once restrictions are lifted your place of work will be Westminster.
