About You

You will have a strong interest in politics and campaigning and be sympathetic to the aims and values of the Conservative Party.

You should be organised, proactive and confident, with strong communication skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities. Previous political or campaigning experience is desirable, but enthusiasm, initiative and a determination to deliver results are equally important.

Due to regular travel across Sussex, a full driving licence and access to a car are essential.
