About the Role

Jenny Riddell-Carpenter MP is seeking an experienced and highly motivated individual to support the office with a high volume of policy-related constituent enquiries.

This role will focus specifically on responding to policy correspondence received by the MP. The successful candidate will draft clear, accurate and empathetic responses to constituents on a wide range of national and local policy issues, ensuring that enquiries are handled efficiently and reflect Jenny’s positions and priorities.

• Draft responses to both routine campaign-style emails and more complex or bespoke policy queries.
• Conduct research across a wide range of policy areas to ensure responses are well-informed and up to date.
• Work closely with the office team to prioritise and manage policy correspondence.
• Liaise with government departments, agencies and relevant organisations where required to support responses.

Essential Skills and Experience

• Previous experience working for a Member of Parliament, ideally in a policy-focused casework or research role.
• Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to explain complex policy issues clearly and empathetically to constituents.
• Strong research and analytical skills with high attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently, prioritise tasks and manage a busy inbox with minimal supervision.
• Strong organisational skills and ability to meet deadlines.
