Job summary

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 Senedds 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. Youll 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.

Undertaking research and analysis to produce written briefings and responses to information requests from Senedd Committees or individual Senedd Members and their staff.

Further developing and maintaining your comprehensive understanding of relevant policy, legislation and statistics; using this expertise to improve services to support Senedd Committees, Senedd Members and information available to the wider public.
Producing engaging proactive content, including research articles and briefings, data visualisations, and supporting other researchers to deliver content that contributes to open and well-informed debate.
Supporting the publication and promotion of external content through social media.
Developing and maintaining digital skills and expertise to improve the information available to Senedd Members and the wider public.
Working with external stakeholders to develop a network of expertise, identifying opportunities to work with academics and others so that Senedd Members have access to a wide range of evidence.
Developing effective relationships with Senedd Members and their staff and working collaboratively with colleagues from different service areas across the Welsh Parliament and other UK parliaments.
Contributing to the development of Senedd Research ways of working and contributing to a one team ethos.
