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 on 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.

At this time the team is preparing to welcome Members of the Seventh Senedd which will involve an introduction programme to equip new and returning Members, with the information and tools to deliver their roles at pace.

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 both 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.
