Steve Race, MP for Exeter, is looking to hire a committed and enthusiastic Communications Officer to join his team in Westminster.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a team of experienced parliamentary staff in the office of a busy MP, working hard in the best interests of the people of Exeter.

You will create engaging social media content to keep constituents informed of Steve's parliamentary work and monitor relevant websites to identify trends and issues. You will work closely with colleagues in both Exeter and Westminster, bringing your understanding of online platforms and public engagement to build effective communications campaigns which highlight the work of Steve and his team. You will regularly travel to the constituency to record original content.

MPs receive huge volumes of correspondence from constituents about legislation, Government announcements and issues in the news. Responding to this contact will be an important part of your role, helping to answer questions, raise issues with Government departments, and communicate the position of the MP.

No two weeks in Parliament are ever the same, so you can expect a varied workload alongside your core responsibilities.

Steve's welcoming and supportive team has a wealth of experience, and we are keen to help the successful applicant to excel and develop their professional skills.
