He worked as a solicitor between 1989 and 2001, before leaving the law profession to retrain as a teacher at the University of Edinburgh, achieving a PGCPE pass with merit in teaching in 2002.[6] Prior to his election, Whitfield worked at Prestonpans Primary School[7] and served as a council member of the General Teaching Council for Scotland as well as a member of the EIS, Scotland's largest trade union.[8][8] He was also Chair of Prestonpans Community Council and involved in a number of community groups.

In June 2018, Whitfield led an adjournment debate on the challenges faced by people with 'hidden' disabilities, particularly in relation to the use of accessible toilets and cited the Grace's Sign campaign run by a young constituent, Grace Warnock.[14] Whitfield has been a strong critic of the Government's Universal Credit system and was one of the first Labour MPs to call for the new benefit to be replaced entirely.[15] In October 2018 he attracted widespread praise after leading a Commons debate on World Menopause Day.[16] Whitfield is a member of several All-Party Parliamentary Groups, including the Timber Industries APPG, which he chairs.[17]He is also a member of the Commons' Science and Technology Select Committee.[18] Whitfield was the Co-Chair of Anas Sarwar's unsuccessful 2017 Scottish Labour Party leadership campaign.[19] References1. ^{{London Gazette |issue=27885 |date=19 June 2017 |page=1076 |city=e}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=bmd%2fb%2f1965%2f3%2faz%2f001421%2f020|title=England & Wales births 1837-2006 Transcription|last=|first=|date=|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=|subscription=yes}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.parliament.uk/biographies/commons/martin-whitfield/4626|title=Martin Whitfield MP|website=UK Parliament}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/politics/constituencies/S14000020|title=East Lothian parliamentary constituency -
