The Welsh Parliament is the democratically elected body that represents the interests of Wales and its people. Commonly known as the Senedd, it makes laws for Wales, agrees Welsh taxes and holds the Welsh Government to account.

The security department is an integral part of the Senedd. As a Security Officer, you will be responsible for the safety and security to all those who visit or work at the Senedd.

You will also be the first point of contact for Senedd Members, Senedd Members’ Support Staff, Commission staff and other persons who work at or visit the Senedd estates. The estate includes the Senedd, Ty Hywel, the Pierhead and satellite offices in other areas of Wales as well as any integral car parking areas and immediate surrounding areas.

The Senedd welcomes visitors all year round, attracting up to as many as 250,000 visitors annually. People come to the Senedd to experience a tour, take in one of our many events, and exhibitions, and to watch debates and committees.

We attract tourists travelling from overseas, school visits, as well as charities and VIP guests, such as the Royal family, Ambassadors and major sports homecoming events.

We are recruiting a Senior Research Officer to work on housing and local government policy within the Economy, Communities and Local Government team in Senedd Research. Senedd Research is a fast-paced environment which provides opportunities work on subject areas with a high political and policy profile.

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.
