As a Security Operations Manager, you will play a pivotal role in safeguarding the Senedd Estate while leading, developing, and supporting our Security Team Leaders and Security Officers. You will ensure our security operations run to the highest standards, while also providing a calm, professional and diplomatic point of contact for a wide range of staff, visitors, and stakeholders.

The Security Operations Manager is a line manager responsible for the supervision and development of Security Team Leaders and Security Officers and for ensuring the integrity and safety of the Senedd Estate is maintained.

Senedd Research

Senior Research Officer; Justice Policy

Cardiff Bay

Job Ref
SC-002-26
Location
Cardiff Bay
Salary
£49,026 - £58,756 (Management Band 1 - SEO)

We are recruiting a Senior Research Officer to lead on justice policy within Senedd Research.

Justice is not a fully devolved area, and work in this domain must navigate the “jagged edge” of devolution—the complex interface where policing, probation, prisons, family law, youth justice, civil law, and administrative justice interact unevenly with devolved Welsh responsibilities such as health, local government, housing, social services and education.

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 justice policy in a partially devolved context, you will require a strong understanding of:
- reserved and devolved areas affecting justice;
- the UK–Welsh Government intergovernmental landscape;
- evidence, policy, legislation and data relevant to criminal and civil justice systems; and
- the emerging debate around the potential devolution of justice.

For more information, please view the job description.

Pattern of Working
This is a full-time post although flexible working arrangements will be considered, subject to meeting the needs of the Senedd and its Members.

This role has an expected start date of September 2026.

Please note recruitment will normally be at the minimum of the band.
The successful candidate will be subject to security vetting.
