The ideal candidate will be intelligent, considerate, and eager to help Suzanne and her team with the important work they do for Stourbridge. You will be interested in politics and current affairs and have a positive, pragmatic attitude about delivering good outcomes for the people of Stourbridge.

- Drafting letters and emails and maintaining detailed case records.
- Attending advice surgeries and other meetings with Suzanne as required.
The successful candidate must:
- Have proven communication and interpersonal skills.
- Be able to prioritise tasks and work independently.
- Demonstrate excellent attention to detail and be a capable letter writer.
- Be highly organised, punctual and committed.
- Be able to work in a sensitive and confidential manner.
- Be sympathetic to the aims and goals of the Conservative Party.
Upon appointment you will be required to comply with the Baseline Personnel Security Standard, undertaken by the Members’ Staff Verification Office (MSVO). See Members’ Staff Verification Office (MSVO) page for further info. MPs generally pay staff in accordance with IPSA guidelines.
