Citizens Advice offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Through our national network of charities, we give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.

The role
As Wales Insights Officer you will support efforts to achieve collective impact between our national organisation and the local Citizens Advice network across Wales. You will strengthen engagement, collaboration and collective communication, build insight from the network and colleagues across the national organisation and assess and report on the impact of collective actions across Wales.

This is an exploratory, fixed-term role, made possible by generous funding from the Moondance Foundation, offering an exciting opportunity to deliver impact for Citizens Advice work in Wales and deepen relationships and communication between local, regional and national levels to deliver on our shared mission.

In 2024, local offices in Wales came together to apply for and win regional and national grant funding from the Welsh Government - Advicelink Cymru (the Single Advice Fund) - a programme previously administered via the national organisation. This important success created an opportunity for reshaping the way that the national and local organisations work together, including work across regions, to engage with each other, deliver impact and avoid duplication.

Based within our Wales Team, this role offers critical additional capacity and experience to deliver on our ambitions to enhance the way we work together with the local network, add value, ensure efficient and coordinated actions, and ensure we are responsive to new and emerging opportunities to grow our impact. By building relationships, gathering feedback, insights and impact, and facilitating opportunities to work together we can provide meaningful opportunities to facilitate learning and deliver collective impact. This role will:

1. Support relationship building that strengthens our approach to working alongside the network in Wales on strategic priorities.
2. Work alongside the team to capture insights and opportunities arising from local practice and our work together and use this to build wider awareness, understanding and strengthened opportunities for collaboration
3. Use skills that enable you to assess, measure and support reporting on the impact of work together across Wales
4. With support from the team you will co-lead a programme of communication, activity and events - alongside the Wales network and relevant national communication and engagement teams - that build engagement, support our ambitions, and raise our profile in Wales with key stakeholders.

You will have a track record of building strong relationships, working across organisational boundaries, capturing and recording insight, and delivering strong communication and engagement in the context of local, regional or national charities.

We are looking for a highly skilled individual with strong relational and communication skills, curiosity, and ambition to achieve real change for people in Wales via Citizens Advice local and national work.

To apply
Please submit an anonymous CV and cover letter that demonstrates how you meet the following essential criteria:

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the proven ability to write and produce engaging communications.
• Experience of building strong relationships with the ability to grow and maintain working relationships with a wide range of geographically dispersed groups and individuals.
• Good experience of developing and using a range of different communication techniques, processes and procedures.
• Good experience of analysing engagement data from a range of tools (intranet, email, collaboration tools such as Slack).

Do you want to work for an organisation that makes a difference, every single day, to people from all walks of life? The people that turn to Citizens Advice need help overcoming an obstacle in their lives – from debt to evictions to trouble at work – and you can be key to them getting the support they need in the quickest, easiest, and most effective way.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is of strategic importance within the organisation and recognised as integral to all we do as a service.

Central to pursuing our EDI mission is building diverse and inclusive teams in which everyone has a sense of belonging. We believe inclusion is a social justice issue - a principle that underpins our all EDI work. To that end, we particularly welcome applications from people we would like to see better represented in our organisation and sector - people of colour, LGBTQ+ people and disabled people. We follow the social model of disability. We will offer an interview to disabled candidates who indicate they wish their application to be considered under our Disability Confident Interview Commitment where they meet our selection criteria in their application. Some of our roles attract a high volume of applications and in some circumstances where it is not practicable or appropriate, we may limit the number of interviews offered to disabled and non-disabled candidates. We will provide reasonable adjustments as needed.

We’re a flexible employer, so this role may suit anyone who’d prefer a flexible arrangement to help their work/life balance, many of our colleagues spend most of their time working remotely. Whilst we prefer a blended approach between a local office, if one is near you, and home we’re open to being flexible on location, occasionally a role may require you to be based in a certain location if that's the case it will be detailed in the advert or job description. This can be discussed in more detail during your interview.

The National Citizens Advice operates from offices in England and Wales, with 4 regional offices based in Cardiff, London, Birmingham and Leeds, therefore all successful applicants must be based within England or Wales.

Please be aware that Citizens Advice is not a sponsoring organisation. Therefore the successful applicant must already possess the right to work in the UK or be able to secure the right to work in the UK independently.

We have been awarded the top charity in Third sectors' employer index, where it's recognised that Citizens Advice is an organization that not only prioritizes the people we serve but also values the wellbeing of its employees.

Citizens Advice seeks to redeploy internal staff who are at risk or under notice of redundancy and will prioritise them in the recruitment process where necessary. If you have been confirmed as at risk or under notice of redundancy please ensure you indicate this in the at-risk box in your application.

Please note, in the event of a high number of applications, we reserve the right to close the application early.

Credwn fod cynhwysiant yn fater cyfiawnder cymdeithasol - egwyddor sy'n sail i'n holl waith Tegwch, Amrywiaeth a Chynhwysiant. I'r perwyl hwnnw, rydym yn croesawu'n arbennig geisiadau gan bobl yr hoffem eu gweld yn cael eu cynrychioli'n well yn ein sefydliad a'n sector - pobl o liw, pobl LHDT+ a phobl anabl. Byddwn yn cynnig cyfweliad i ymgeiswyr anabl sy'n nodi eu bod yn dymuno i'w cais gael ei ystyried o dan ein Hymrwymiad Cyfweliad Hyderus o ran Anabledd lle maent yn bodloni ein meini prawf dethol yn eu cais.

Rydym yn gyflogwr hyblyg, felly gallai'r rôl hon fod yn addas i unrhyw un sy'n well ganddo drefniant hyblyg i helpu eu cydbwysedd rhwng bywyd a gwaith – mae llawer o'n cydweithwyr yn treulio'r rhan fwyaf o'u hamser yn gweithio o bell. Er ein bod ni'n ffafrio dull cymysg rhwng swyddfa leol, os oes un yn agos atoch chi, a chartref, rydym yn agored i fod yn hyblyg o ran lleoliad, ond weithiau gall rôl olygu bod angen i chi fod wedi'ch lleoli mewn lleoliad penodol; os felly, bydd manylion yn cael eu cynnwys yn yr hysbyseb neu'r disgrifiad swydd. Gellir trafod hyn yn fanylach yn ystod eich cyfweliad.

Rydym wedi ennill y wobr elusen orau ym mynegai cyflogwyr y Trydydd sector, gyda Cyngor ar Bopeth yn cael ei gydnabod fel sefydliad sydd nid yn unig yn blaenoriaethu'r bobl rydym yn eu gwasanaethu ond sydd hefyd yn rhoi pwyslais ar lesiant ei weithwyr.
