This role is chief policy adviser for the portfolio and leads the Group which brings together all aspects of education, skills and lifelong learning and our leadership role for local government and civil contingencies alongside our work to help create fairer, safer and more equitable communities and workplaces. The Group’s work is underpinned by the “Cymraeg 2050” strategy and our aim of a million Welsh speakers, supporting the Welsh culture and building the profile of Wales.
The successful candidate will be the most senior officer responsible for the “Cymraeg 2050” policy across Welsh Government. Welsh language skills will, therefore, be required for this role – ideally from the beginning. However, candidates with little or no language ability are eligible and are encouraged to apply. A successful candidate who has few or no skills will be assessed and will be expected to make a commitment to develop Welsh language skills to an appropriate level. Support will be provided to do this, with comprehensive training available. As is the case in respect of other requirements, reasonable adjustments can be discussed.
Equality, diversity and inclusion are important principles of the Welsh Government. We have set ambitious diversity targets to improve the numbers of staff we employ from under-represented groups. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people, disabled people and women, who are all under-represented in our senior civil service. We are committed to becoming an anti-racist organisation, and to the social model of disability. We will make recruitment and workplace adjustments to ensure equality for disabled candidates.
