We are recruiting a Senior Research Officer to support the scrutiny of justice policy within Senedd Research.

You will provide independent, impartial parliamentary research to all Members of the Senedd in their scrutiny, legislative and representative work. This roles involves researching complex policy and legislative issues, evaluating evidence and communicating findings clearly and accessibility to support informed debate and decision-making.

The role requires an understanding of the Welsh political and legislative landscape and the ability to assess how policy, legislative and constitutional developments may affect Wales. You will work closely with colleagues across Senedd Research, recognising that many policy issues cut across traditional subject boundaries and require interdisciplinary analysis.

Senedd Research has a strong culture of collaboration and mutual support. You will contribute to the service’s one-team approach, supporting colleagues during periods of high demand and participating in cross-service groups, editorial activities and wider service improvement initiatives. As organisational priorities evolve, you may be expected to develop expertise in new areas of work or move between teams.

The role provides opportunities for external engagement and collaborative working with other legislatures, institutions and stakeholders both in the UK and internationally.

We are recruiting two full-time Higher Research Officers in Senedd Research who will work across policy areas and likely to be working on the following :

- Post 1: Environment & Transport / Constitution
- Post 2: Post 16 Education and Skills / Economy

As work requires, post holders will be required to work in the other subject areas covered by Senedd Research.
The purpose of these posts is to provide impartial, independent, and expert factual briefing on all aspects of relevant policy, legislation and statistics to support Senedd Members and committees. This briefing can involve secondary research and requires critical analysis of a range of information sources. The roles also involves writing and publishing articles to inform debate and scrutiny, while aiding understanding of the Senedd’s wider work.

The role of a Higher Research Officer involves understanding areas of devolved policy as well as having the ability to work flexibly, leading on your own research work while supporting senior researchers and team leaders on their subject areas.

You will need to have a good understanding of the current Welsh policy context which will enable you to quickly gain an overview of relevant legislation and statistics in related policy areas. You will need to demonstrate excellent research and briefing skills. You will be expected to be flexible, work proactively with research colleagues across a range of policy areas and work across the whole Service providing support to teams where there is high demand. You’ll be responding to enquiries from Senedd Members; preparing briefing for Senedd Committees; writing articles and briefings to be published online and via our social media channels; and identifying opportunities for cross service working. You will have the opportunity to develop digital skills, including producing data visualisations and helping to create interactive content.

We work as ‘one team’ and have a culture of working across teams to help support each other in times of high demand. You will therefore be expected to adapt as the role evolves and to work across teams as required. You will work in an agile way to support and develop ways of working in Senedd Research, through participation in cross service improvement groups, editorial board activities and any service plan priorities where opportunities arise.

We are recruiting a Higher Research Officer to work on equality and human rights policy within Senedd Research.

Equality and human rights policy in Wales operates within a complex landscape of devolved and reserved responsibilities. With support from senior colleagues, you will help Members and committees understand how Welsh duties, UK-wide equality and human rights frameworks, and international obligations apply across devolved policy areas such as health, education, housing, social care, local government and community safety.

Your role will involve providing impartial and authoritative analysis that recognises these cross cutting boundaries and their implications for policy and legislation in Wales.

You will provide independent, impartial parliamentary research to all Members of the Senedd to support their scrutiny, legislative and constituency work. This includes preparing briefings for Members and political parties, supporting Senedd committees, and producing digital content such as research articles, explainers, and analysis for Members and the public.

Given the breadth and complexity of equality and human rights policy in Wales, and with support from senior colleagues, you will develop a strong understanding of:

- Welsh, UK and international equality and human rights frameworks;
- the interaction between devolved and reserved responsibilities;
- relevant equality duties, human rights obligations, legislation, policy evidence and data;
- the role of Welsh institutions, commissioners and public bodies in promoting and protecting rights; and
- current and emerging debates on equality, rights and social justice in Wales.

You will work flexibly across the wider Senedd Research team, supporting colleagues and contributing to cross cutting work where equality and human rights policy intersects with other devolved areas. We have a culture of working across teams to help support each other in times of high demand. You will work in an agile way to support the Service through participation in cross service groups, editorial board activities and any service plan priorities.

You will be expected to adapt as the role evolves and may also be expected to move between teams as required.
