Join Us and Help Shape the Future of Wales

Are you passionate about delivering excellent customer service and making a meaningful impact in communities across Wales? Rural Payments Wales (RPW) are recruiting enthusiastic, motivated individuals to join their high‑performing, well‑established teams.

RPW is the largest operational delivery division within the Welsh Government, supporting Waless rural economy and administering around £300 million of funding each year. As we approach the launch of the Sustainable Farming Scheme (2026), this is an exciting moment to get involved in work that directly shapes the future of farming, sustainability and land management in Wales.

We are recruiting one Field Officer role, offering varied, rewarding work within a fast‑paced environment. With potentially more roles becoming available.

The Rural Inspectorate Wales (RIW) is responsible for ensuring compliance with Assimilated Law and other domestic directives and regulations through the completion of a programme of on-the-spot (OTSC) controls for schemes administered by Rural Payments Wales (RPW).

Job description

This is a physically demanding but rewarding role involving on-site visits to project locations and farms to inspect land, livestock, capital works, and more, often with minimal notice. You will be required to accurately record inspection results using IT systems, capturing sufficient evidence to clearly demonstrate findings, including any breaches of scheme rules. This is a target-oriented post that requires working to set deadlines.

This is an exciting opportunity dealing with a wide range of cases and will develop skills in dealing effectively and efficiently with internal and external customers while maintaining excellent customer service.

The post holders will work as part of a team alongside other inspectors across Wales and will be expected to travel regularly.

A full, valid UK driving licence is essential, as the role may require visits to remote locations where access by public transport is limited or impractical.

Benefits of Working with Us

Competitive salary with annual pay progression.
Generous pension scheme and secure employment within the Welsh Government.
Hybrid and flexible working options, including flexi‑time and job‑share opportunities.
Excellent annual leave entitlement plus public holidays.
A strong focus on wellbeing, including access to support services and staff networks.
A welcoming, inclusive culture that values collaboration and continuous improvement.
Comprehensive training and development, including opportunities to progress your career.
