About the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales (OSSW):

The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales is the face of the UK Government in Wales and the voice of Wales in Westminster.

We support the Secretary of State (SoS) for Wales and the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Wales (PUSS) in representing Wales at the heart of Government.

The department plays a central role in shaping key Government priorities.

We work in partnership with other UK Government departments and stakeholders to deliver a stronger Wales within a strong United Kingdom.

The role sits within the Policy Team in OSSW, which currently consists of approximately 15 people.

The Policy Team operates across a wide range of reserved and devolved policy areas, working to identify opportunities to benefit Wales within emerging UK Government policy, and acting to identify and resolve issues that affect Wales.

The day-to-day work of the team involves engagement with senior stakeholders inside and outside of Government as well as advising ministers, officials, and regional partners responsible for City and Growth deals, on a broad range of topics.

You will be an experienced policy official and effective at briefing others, especially senior officials, and Ministers. You will be capable of learning new policy areas quickly. Experience and knowledge of the Energy and Transport sectors in Wales, including opportunities and challenges.

Experience of giving effective policy advice to Senior Officials or Ministers through both verbal and written briefing and correspondence.
