We are looking for a Legal Adviser to join our Legal Services team at the Senedd. This is an exciting opportunity to play an integral role in the Senedd’s work as it represents the interests of Wales and its people.
The Senedd Commission is the corporate body responsible for the provision of property, staff and services to support Senedd Members in their work.
With the addition of the successful candidate to the team, the Commission’s Legal Service will comprise sixteen Legal Advisers. The Service provides legal advice to the Llywydd, the Chief Executive, Committees of the Senedd, individual Senedd Members and other Commission colleagues on a wide range of legal issues. Notably, the team also advises Senedd Members on their scrutiny of the Welsh Government’s proposed legislation.
You will be expected to develop working relationships with other Commission departments as well as with a variety of other bodies, such as the Welsh Government and the devolved legislatures in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Your knowledge of public law, experience, and interpersonal skills will play a vital role in providing both legal advice and legal scrutiny of legislation to the heart of Welsh democracy.
