The Wales Centre for Public Policy is core funded by the Economic and Research Council, and Welsh Government, and is based in the Social Science Research Park on Cardiff University’s £300 million Innovation Campus. It works closely with ministers, senior officials, and public service leaders, providing them with high quality independent evidence and expertise that directly informs policy decisions and public service delivery.
It collaborates with leading researchers and policy experts from across the UK and internationally to synthesise, generate and mobilise evidence and undertakes evidence reviews, expert workshops, ministerial briefings and a range of other activities. The Centre’s excellent access to ministers, civil servants, and public service leaders means that it can make a positive difference to policy and practice in key areas. Its current work includes a wide range of projects but has a particular focus on community wellbeing, the environment and net-zero, inequalities, and evidence use.
Cardiff University offers a stimulating and supportive working environment with flexible working arrangements; a generous pension scheme and a range of other benefits; and a wealth of training opportunities.
The successful candidate will have an interest in and understanding of current public policy challenges; a commitment to improving policy and practice; excellent communication and organisational skills; and the ability to lead teams and supervise the work of less experienced staff.
We welcome applications for secondments to the post which will provide the successful candidate with a unique opportunity to broaden their understanding of policy debates and networks in Wales.
This post is full-time (35 hours per week), advertised on a fixed term basis until 31 March 2028.
