Are you passionate about helping people and looking for a volunteering opportunity?

Sarah’s office deals with thousands of contacts from local residents asking for help or information on a range of policy issues. To help us get replies out to residents more quickly, we are looking for someone to take up a regular volunteering position.

This work can be done from anywhere in the UK, though we would love you to come and work from Sarah’s Westminster office sometimes, so that you can get the most out of your time volunteering with us.

Our volunteer will help with:

Researching and drafting replies to policy queries raised by constituents
Monitoring the mass-email campaigns which are sent to Sarah and drafting appropriate replies
Various administrative tasks in the Westminster office

There is no expectation that you will have experience of a similar role. Instead, you should be able to demonstrate and evidence:

Outstanding verbal and written communication skills - to include in-person and telephone conversations
An understanding of the role of an MP
A passion for politics and current affairs
Strong research skills
Excellent organisational skills
Being a self-starter
Being in sympathy with the philosophy of the Liberal Democrat party
Commitment to keeping information confidential

Because we will need to provide you with training, and set you up with various software sign-ins, we are looking for volunteers who could give us time for at least the next few months. Ideally we would like about 8 hours or more per week, but we are open to any volunteers who can make regular commitments to helping.

We will acknowledge every application and let you know if you have been successful or not.
