**Job summary**:

- The Welsh Parliament is the democratically elected body that represents the interests of Wales and its people. Commonly known as the Senedd, it makes laws for Wales, agrees Welsh taxes and holds the Welsh Government to account._

The security department is an integral part of the Senedd. As a Security Officer you will be responsible for the safety and security to all those who visit or work at the Senedd.

You will also be the first point of contact for Senedd Members, Senedd Members’ Support Staff, Commission staff and other persons who work at or visit the Senedd estates. The estate includes the Senedd, Tŷ Hywel, the Pierhead and satellite offices in other areas of Wales as well as any integral car parking areas and immediate surrounding areas.

The Senedd welcomes visitors all year round, attracting up to as many as 250,000 visitors annually. People come to the Senedd to experience a tour, take in one of our many events, and exhibitions, and to watch debates and committees.

We attract tourists travelling from overseas, school visits, as well as charities and VIP guests, such as the Royal family, Ambassadors and major sports homecoming events. We are open 6 days a week allowing visitors the opportunity to explore the public spaces of these iconic buildings during opening hours.

We’re looking for a highly-motivated individual to join our large team. You don’t need experience in similar roles, and a full training programme will be provided upon appointment. If you can work collaboratively, have sound judgement and are able to act decisively and responsibly in a very busy environment then we want to hear from you

- Support the Senedd’s business and functions including providing an ushering and messenger service during plenary sessions and committees, supervision of public galleries and raising and lowering of official flags when requested;
- Facilitation of additional security measures during key visits and events, such as VIP tours and meetings, high profile functions and media related activity;
- Working closely with the Senedd’s Policing Unit and other security services;
- Reaction to and investigation of alarms and implementation of evacuation, emergency management and business continuity procedures where required;
