The Member Learning and Engagement team provides support to Members of the Senedd (Members), and their support staff across Wales, by delivering a varied programme of training and development activities.

The team is also responsible for engagement with Members and their support staff regarding Senedd Commission services and initiatives to support them in fulfilling their roles.

Under the leadership of the Head of Member Liaison and the Senior Training and Engagement Manager, you will manage a small team.

You will play a leading role in identifying the ongoing training needs of Members and their support staff, at an individual, team and organisational level.

Using your knowledge of learning theory and skills in planning, development and delivery of training, you will deliver training and arrange for it to be delivered by others. Such training should aim to meet the statutory requirements and development needs of Members and their staff, in line with the principles and priorities agreed by the Commission.

You will adopt a strategic and collaborative approach to working with Members, support staff and key stakeholders across the Senedd Commission. You will develop effective working relationships with the political party groups to gain buy-in and ensure training solutions are both relevant and add value. Working collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation, you will be expected to deliver high levels of customer services, have strong organisational skills and be able to demonstrate an ability to manage multiple tasks in an energetic and flexible way.

You will be passionate about supporting Members and their staff to learn and grow. You will be future-focused and show curiosity in developing new ideas. You will be driven and motivate the team to deliver an excellent service and training programme.

You will need to identify and, where possible, resolve issues by identifying training solutions. However, being astute and able to recognise problems and escalate as appropriate is also a key attribute.

You will need to be able to demonstrate a positive and flexible attitude to your work – adapting your skills and the service to the Members we serve. You will need to be professional and articulate in presentation and must have excellent verbal and written and communication skills.

We are recruiting a full-time Higher Research Officer in Senedd Research who will work across policy areas in both the Environment and Transport, and External and Constitutional Affairs teams.

The post will be managed from within the Environment and Transport Team. As work requires, post holders will be required to work in the other subject areas covered by Senedd Research.

The purpose of this post 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 role 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 and policy areas, while supporting senior researchers and team leaders on their subject areas.

You will need to develop 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.
