The successful candidate will support Richard's work in the constituency, working alongside a dynamic team based in the constituency and in the Westminster Office.

• Drafting accurate, sensitive responses to constituents on casework and policy issues.
• Managing casework from initial contact to resolution, maintaining confidentiality throughout

• Gathering relevant information to assist with resolving cases
• Logging cases, monitoring progress and ensuring all identified actions are taken
• Retaining records and information confidentially and in line with the Data Protection Act
• Highly organised with the ability to prioritise and manage a busy workload

Desirable Experience:
• Proven experience of producing high quality correspondence or writing
• Ability to work well as part of a team with individual responsibilities but working closely together
• Exceptional attention to detail
• Competent in the use of Microsoft Office. Experience using caseworker.mp or other similar casework management software would be a significant advantage
• Sympathetic to the aims and values of the Conservative Party
