Independent Adviser to the Senedd Commission
The Senedd Commission is seeking to appoint an Independent Adviser to bring independent insight, constructive challenge and assurance to support its governance and strategic decision-making.
As an Independent Adviser you will be required to act in a non-political, advisory capacity to the Senedd Commission, predominantly through its executive team. The Advisers are expected to develop constructive relationships and offer supportive challenge across the Commission’s business with a view to ensuring that all aspects of strategy and delivery are scrutinised for effectiveness and efficiency. They contribute to the corporate governance, monitoring of the performance and progress of the organisation, including the use of human and financial resources, and maintain a critical overview of the organisation’s financial controls and procedures.
We Are Looking For
We are looking for an experienced individual with sound judgement, credibility, and a commitment to public service. We are particularly interested in candidates with:
- Expertise in finance, audit, risk; and
- Dignity and respect, equality and inclusion.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are also particularly interested in candidates with experience in transformation, digital change, or senior leadership.
This is a rewarding non-executive role offering the opportunity to influence decision-making at the heart of Welsh democracy. The commitment is around 15 days per year and remuneration is £5,000 per annum, with an additional £2,000 available for advisory committee chairing responsibilities.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and particularly encourage applications from individuals whose perspectives are under-represented in senior public appointments in Wales.
