Sajid Hussain a Caseworker and Community Outreach Coordinator for Mark Eastwood MP has won the Staffer of the Year for Northern England Award at a prestigious ceremony held in Parliament last night, hosted by the Rt Hon Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP, Speaker of the House of Commons.
Judges included a cross-party panel of MP’s selected Sajid for the award which recognises a staffer who currently works for a Member of Parliament with a constituency-based in the North of England, who has gone above and beyond.
Sajid works as a Caseworker and Outreach Coordinator for the office of Mark Eastwood MP and was nominated for his work by Mark Eastwood MP who said
I am absolutely delighted for Sajid, who has worked so hard to help so many constituents in need of help. This award is a testament to his hard work and dedication, going above and beyond to help people from right across our communities.
Sajid’s language skills and fluency in Arabic, Urdu and Punjabi are a real asset to the office, as he has helped connect and communicate with the diverse electorate in Dewsbury, which is seeing a growing population of Pakistani and Indian residents.
The pride Sajid takes in his work explains why he is a respected figure within his constituency, in the Asian community, and the Home Office.
Upon finding out he had won the award Sajid said
It is a huge honour to win this award, and I am very proud that my work has been recognised at such a high level.
By nature, I like to help people and I look forward to continuing working alongside Mark Eastwood MP and his team to serve the people of Dewsbury, Mirfield, Kirkburton and Denby Dale.
