Job Details
This is a great opportunity to be part of the team working for Dan Tomlinson MP in Chipping Barnet. Caseworkers are often the first point of contact for constituents who need help from their MP - you need to be prepared to listen to people from a wide range of backgrounds, understand their concerns and needs, and find ways to support them. The Caseworker will provide support and support to Dan’s constituents on a range of issues, including housing, welfare and immigration and will manage a large caseload to help to resolve problems through communication with government agencies, local authorities, the voluntary sector and other organisations.
The holder of this role will also support responses to policy queries on a broad range of topics. This will involve logging and categorising new emails, researching the government’s work on policy issues across many departments, and helping to draft responses based on that research.

We will clarify with you at the interview stage whether we are considering you for this position.
Dan would be excited to work with people who are driven to make a positive difference in people’s lives. We want to keep evolving and improving our approach to casework and local engagement more broadly so that we can deliver genuine and lasting improvements to Chipping Barnet.
As part of this team, you would be invited to contribute to a culture where we work hard to deliver positive outcomes for our constituents, while also supporting staff wellbeing, learning and enjoyment of our jobs. All our caseworkers have access to regular wellbeing debriefs, a budget for learning and development, and training opportunities.
