**Job summary**:
The Welsh Government is the devolved government of Wales. Analysts play a key role in providing high quality evidence to support policy making and the Welsh Government more broadly.

The Social Research and Information Division is a core part of the government’s analytical function. The division comprises around 70 social researchers who work closely with policy and other analysts (e.g. statisticians, economists) to provide analytical advice and evidence to support key policy decisions in devolved areas such as education, health and the environment. There is one post available in the Social Research and Information Division.

Government analysts are also based within policy divisions, including the Equality, Poverty, Children’s Evidence and Support Division - there are two posts available in this Division.

The Welsh Government’s Equality, Race and Disability Evidence Units, based in the Equality, Poverty, Children Evidence & Support Division have been recently established. There are three units: the Equality Evidence Unit, the Race Disparity Evidence Unit and the Disability Disparity Evidence Unit. The work of the Units will include investigating long-standing problems underpinned by sufficiently robust statistics and research across the Welsh Government and the wider public sector in Wales; improving the collection of data; and delivering innovative ways to address ongoing evidence needs relating to equalities and socio-economic disadvantage. Unit staff are a mixture of analysts (including social researchers and statisticians) and policy officials.

Social researchers in Equality, Poverty, Children’s Evidence and Support Division also support the research needs of policy areas including social justice, children, childcare and families.
