Cardiff, United Kingdom Barnardo's Full time

Are eager to develop your skills working with Welsh Government, Members of the Senedd, or other key decision-makers in Wales? If so, we want to hear from you.

Barnardo's Cymru is looking for a Policy & Public Affairs Officer (Wales) to help shape our influencing work and strengthen our presence in the world of Welsh policy-making. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone eager to build on their existing knowledge and experience with policy influencers in Wales while playing a pivotal role in creating positive, lasting change for children, young people, and families.

In this role, you'll work closely with our Senior Policy and Public Affairs Lead (Wales) to implement our influencing plan. You'll help raise Barnardo's Cymru's profile among key stakeholders, including Welsh Government officials, Senedd Members, and other policy influencers. You'll be involved in:

  • Monitoring key developments within the Welsh policy landscape
  • Managing relationships and liaising with stakeholders at all levels
  • Conducting research and producing reports to support our policy objectives
  • Supporting reactive policy work to respond to emerging issues
  • Organising events to showcase Barnardo's vital work and engage decision-makers

Your efforts will ensure that the voices of children, young people, families, and our services are central to our influencing activities in Wales.

This role will be home-based but will require travel to Cardiff and/or other parts of Wales for in-person meetings as required. The position is offered on a 0.6 FTE basis (21.75 hours per week).
