Pan Wales

‘Pan Wales’ means the post holder can be based in any Welsh Government office, subject to business needs. Roles based outside Wales, including London, are not available unless explicitly stated in the advert.

A list of the Welsh Government’s offices can be found on www.gov.wales/welsh-government-offices. Please note it may not always be possible to accommodate a preference for a specific office location.

The post holder’s travel from their home to their assigned Welsh Government office is considered their ‘ordinary commute’ and must be done in their own time and at their own cost.

Purpose of post

Growing the Welsh public sector procurement and commercial profession is central to achieving value, sustainability and social benefit from the £11.4 billion spent annually across the Welsh public sector.

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape and strengthen public procurement and commercial capability across Wales. Working as part of a dedicated Capability team, the post holder will help design, promote and deliver programmes that support professional development across the public sector and contribute to the delivery of Welsh Government’s Programme for Government commitments.

Reporting to the Senior Capability Manager, the Capability Manager will support the delivery of national capacity and capability initiatives and, in some cases, lead discrete capability projects. These may include supporting the development and implementation of procurement and commercial apprenticeship pathways, the design and continuous improvement of eLearning and blended learning solutions, and the creation of practical guidance, tools and resources to support knowledge building and professional standards across the sector.

The role involves working closely with colleagues across Welsh Government and the wider public sector to identify skills gaps, respond to sector changes and ensure programmes remain relevant, prioritised and impactful.

While this role does not hold direct responsibility for Cyd (formerly the Procurement Centre of Excellence for Wales), it sits alongside and complements Cyd’s work. The post holder will be expected to stay informed of developments and will have opportunities to contribute to, promote and support the continued growth and embedding of Cyd as a core part of the Welsh public sector procurement landscape.

This role would suit candidates with some experience in procurement, commercial, workforce development or improvement programmes.

The varied initiatives include the development of professional upskilling programmes, apprenticeships and new qualification development which will provide the post holder the exciting opportunities to be involved in projects at a national level.
