Josh is looking for a Constituency Assistant to join his award-winning MP office team!

What you'll get up to will include:

• Overseeing Josh's inbox, post and telephone correspondence, triaging messages so that they can be actioned promptly and appropriately.
• Coordinating Josh’s busy constituency diary; scheduling meetings, surgeries and community events.
• Making sure Josh is well briefed for engagements, supporting visit logistics, taking photo/video content, and ensuring accurate notes with clear follow-up actions are recorded.
• Acting as a first point of contact for residents, responding to their questions and concerns and signposting accordingly, by phone, by email, on social media, or in person.
• Drafting and sending correspondence to constituents.
• Liaising with internal and external stakeholders, including local authorities, government agencies and community organisations.

What we're after from you:

You know how to get things done
You’re hot on deadlines, can bash out a strong email in no time, and aren’t afraid to just pick up the phone to whoever to get a task over the line. You’re comfortable handling routine tasks with consistency and care and take pride in getting the fundamentals right, every single time.

You can multitask with ease
You’re organised enough to manage lots of simultaneous demands from residents, the staff team and Josh without losing your cool, losing sight of your goals, nor losing your magic touch. You might even be a fan of project management tools like Monday.com.

You’re a problem solving pro
You’re not fazed by complex challenges and get a buzz from working with others to find solutions. You have the resilience and determination to keep going and deliver the best results for residents. You may have experience working in a people-facing role.

You’re tech savvy
You’re a digital demon when it comes to diary management, inbox management, file storage and other office systems. You might even be geeky about using AI to boost efficiency.

You care enough to get stuck right in
You’re invested in our mission to support the people of Eastbourne, and to help Josh to be the best MP he can be. You’re prepared to roll up your sleeves and make a positive difference in the town.
