Job summary

We are recruiting a Higher Research Officer to work on equality and human rights policy within Senedd Research.

Equality and human rights policy in Wales operates within a complex landscape of devolved and reserved responsibilities. With support from senior colleagues, you will help Members and committees understand how Welsh duties, UK-wide equality and human rights frameworks, and international obligations apply across devolved policy areas such as health, education, housing, social care, local government and community safety.

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 equality and human rights policy in Wales, and with support from senior colleagues, you will develop a strong understanding of:

Welsh, UK and international equality and human rights frameworks;
the interaction between devolved and reserved responsibilities;
relevant equality duties, human rights obligations, legislation, policy evidence and data;
the role of Welsh institutions, commissioners and public bodies in promoting and protecting rights; and
current and emerging debates on equality, rights and social justice in Wales.

You will work flexibly across the wider Senedd Research team, supporting colleagues and contributing to cross cutting work where equality and human rights policy intersects with other devolved areas. We have a culture of working across teams to help support each other in times of high demand. You will work in an agile way to support the Service through participation in cross service groups, editorial board activities and any service plan priorities.

You will be expected to adapt as the role evolves and may also be expected to move between teams as required.

Job description

The role of Higher Research Officer for equality and human rights is varied and demanding. Equality and human rights issues frequently have a high political and public profile, and the complex distribution of responsibilities within the UK means Members rely on clear, well informed and balanced advice.

You will support Senedd committees that scrutinise equality and human rights issues , working alongside colleagues where committees remits overlap because of the interconnected nature of the Welsh and UK systems.

Because equality and human rights intersect with every devolved policy area, you will rapidly develop broad interdisciplinary expertise. You will also be expected to advise colleagues on how to mainstream equality considerations across their work.

You will have opportunities for external engagement with bodies such as inspectorates, legal sector organisations, academics, think tanks, and counterparts in other legislatures. You will also develop and apply digital skills, including data visualisation of equality and human rights statistics, mapping analysis, and production of accessible digital explainers.

Key tasks:

Working with colleagues to provide timely, high-quality, impartial advice and analysis on equality and human rights policy.
Analysing and advising on UK level legislation and policy developments and their implications for Wales.
Providing clear, confident and effective research support to committee Chairs and Members on equality and human rights, with support from senior colleagues.
Building strong relationships with Members, support staff, academics, legal experts, and stakeholders
Producing proactive content, including briefings, blog articles, data visualisation and research papers on equality and human rights issues to support open and well informed public debate.
Developing a network of external expertise, ensuring Members of the Senedd have access to a wide range of evidence.
Contributing to Senedd Researchs one team ethos and supporting wider service development.
