● Correspond with constituents by letter, email and phone, explaining next steps clearly and sensitively
● Liaise with government departments and agencies to progress cases
● Draft letters to ministers, public bodies and organisations on behalf of the MP

● Maintain strict confidentiality and handle sensitive personal data in line with data protection requirements
● Provide general administrative support to the constituency office as required
