A spokesman for Madeleine McCann's parents is to become a senior member of the Conservatives' election team, the party has confirmed.
Clarence Mitchell will begin his new role as head of media monitoring next week.
The former BBC journalist is not expected to speak publicly on behalf of the Tories.
He will report to communications chief Andy Coulson.
Mr Mitchell began representing Kate and Gerry McCann in 2007 after their daughter Madeleine disappeared during a family holiday in Portugal.
Before that, he spent two years as the head of the Government's media monitoring team.
He is also a consultant for Freud Communications, specialising in crisis management.
Other families he has advised include the parents of murdered teenager Jimmy Mizen and Fiona MacKeown, who's daughter Scarlett Keeling was killed in Goa. Sky
