**About the Office of the Secretary of State for Wales**:
The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales (OSSW) 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 such as Levelling Up, the Union and Net Zero. We work in partnership with other UK Government departments and stakeholders to deliver a stronger Wales within a strong United Kingdom.

Our departmental values are Commitment, Collaboration and Quality. These shape how we operate in a challenging, demanding, and fast paced environment which requires flexibility, transparency, and professionalism.

The Office is based over two sites, with one base in Cardiff and another in London. As an accredited smarter working organisation, we offer considerable flexibility around ‘the way we work’. We have a great technology and an attractive employee benefits package which includes a commitment to investing in the learning & development of our staff.

**About the team**:
The role is within the Policy team in OSSW, which is currently comprised of 14 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. This influence-strong brief requires a flexible approach to engagement and an excellent understanding of the bigger picture. The day-to-day work of the team involves engagement with senior stakeholders inside and outside of Government as well as advising Ministers, senior officials and regional partners on a broad range of topics.

**Description**:
The Domestic Affairs and Trade team sits with the wider Policy team. It consists of a Grade 7, a Higher Executive Officer, and an Executive Officer. The Domestic Affairs and Trade team combines its work to progress longer-term, strategic objectives with an agile and responsive role in the department.

This is a key position within OSSW. You will undertake strategic policy work, working with other parts of Government and a wider range of stakeholders, to support the Office in delivering on the Secretary of State’s priorities.

As OSSW is not a direct policy delivery department, we rely on our ability to influence to deliver Ministerial priorities. As such, you will need to establish and maintain relationships with stakeholders both within Whitehall and outside. You will need to work at pace to often challenging deadlines with an ability to draw together different sources of information and make sense of it for time-pressured Ministers.

**Key Responsibilities**:
This role will involve:

- Providing high quality advice and written briefing to the Secretary of State (SoS) or the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (PUSS) on matters relating to areas of Domestic Affairs and Trade.
- Replying to written correspondence from Parliamentarians, external groups or members of the public, for example, and supporting the SoS/PUSS to prepare for Parliamentary engagements, such as Welsh Affairs Committee appearances and Welsh Orals sessions in the House of Commons.
- Researching key information to support Ministers and Senior Officials.
- Working with other Government Departments across Whitehall and wider external stakeholders in Wales to ensure that Welsh interests are fully reflected in UK Government policy.
- Developing and maintaining effective relationships with internal teams including Private Office and the Correspondence Team, working with them to effectively manage expe
