Ben Obese-Jecty, the Member of Parliament for Huntingdon, is looking for a Senior Caseworker to join his team. Caseworkers play an important role in an MP's office, supporting the MP to ensure that constituents' concerns are heard and actioned.

This is a senior role within the team. You will manage a caseload of complex and sensitive cases, work with local and national agencies to resolve them, and brief the MP on trends and issues affecting the constituency.

The role is office based in Huntingdon. We would also consider candidates based in Westminster who can work from the Huntingdon office on Fridays and during recess.

Key responsibilities

• Managing a large caseload of complex and sensitive cases, from first contact through to resolution
• Gathering evidence, reaching sound decisions on how to progress each case, and recording cases and actions accurately
• Drafting clear, well-judged letters and emails to constituents, government departments, local authorities and other agencies on the MP's behalf
• Building working relationships with local and national organisations so that cases can be escalated and resolved efficiently
• Supporting the MP at surgeries and meetings and following up on the issues raised
• Spotting trends across casework and briefing the MP on local issues
• Handling personal information confidentially and in line with data protection law

Who we're looking for

You will have solid experience of complex casework on behalf of members of the public. Experience in an MP's office is an advantage, but we would be just as interested to hear from people who have built comparable experience elsewhere, for example at a local council, a housing provider or an advice service.

• Demonstrable experience of managing a caseload of complex cases, and of working with public bodies and other agencies to resolve them
• Excellent written English, with the ability to write clearly and sensitively about difficult subjects
• Sound judgement and the confidence to make decisions on cases based on the evidence
• The ability to prioritise a heavy workload and keep people informed while you do
• Patience and care with people who are distressed or frustrated
• A working knowledge of the public services constituents most often need help with, such as housing, benefits, immigration, health and education
• Discretion, and a commitment to treating every constituent fairly
• Sympathetic to the aims and values of the Conservative Party

Knowledge of the Huntingdon area and existing or previous parliamentary security clearance would be an advantage.

Key dates

• Closing date: 12 noon, Friday 30 October 2026
• Interviews: will take place on a rolling basis so early applications are encouraged
• Start date: as soon as possible, once security clearance and pre-employment checks are complete

We will review applications as they arrive and may invite candidates to interview, and make an appointment, before the closing date. Early applications are encouraged.

How to apply
