About the Wales Office:

The Wales Office is the face of the UK Government in Wales and the voice of Wales in Westminster. We support the Secretary of State for Wales and the Ministerial team in representing Wales at the heart of Government. We work in partnership with other Government Departments and other stakeholders to deliver a stronger Wales within a strong United Kingdom.

Our departmental values are Commitment, Collaboration and Quality. These shape how we operate in a challenging, demanding, and fast paced environment which requires flexibility, transparency and professionalism.

The Office is based over two sites, with one base in Cardiff and another in London. As an accredited smarter working organisation, we offer considerable flexibility around ‘the way we work.’ We have great technology and an attractive employee benefits package which includes a commitment to investing in the learning & development of our staff.

Description:

We are looking for a motivated and outgoing individual to join the Private Office team in the Wales Office as Diary Manager and Assistant Private Secretary to the Secretary of State for Wales.

You will work at the heart of the Private Office and be responsible for effectively managing the Secretary of State’s diary. Liaising closely with the Secretary of State, Private Secretaries, Special Advisers and Officials, you will ensure Ministerial priorities are carefully planned and contribute to their successful delivery.

As a small Department the post holder will have unparalleled access to Ministers and work on issues that cut across Whitehall, Number 10, and the Welsh Government. You will be the face of the Private Office to external stakeholders and ensure appropriate balance between the Secretary of State’s departmental, constituency and parliamentary commitments.

The successful candidate will be assertive and confident with the ability to prioritise a busy workload. You will need to build good personal relationships with ministers and senior officials both in the department, across Whitehall and with Welsh Government. Excellent communication skills and the ability to remain calm and reliable under pressure are also essential.

Occasional travel (mostly to Wales) to support the Secretary of State will be required which may include overnight stays.

Given the nature of the role, it is London based and full time. You will need to be prepared to work some early mornings and evenings as part of a Private Office rota, and as such this role attracts a Private Office allowance of £2,562 in addition to the salary listed above.

Key Responsibilities:

This role is varied, challenging, and stimulating, working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Key responsibilities include:

Overall responsibility for the management of the Secretary of State’s diary, including arranging all internal and external meetings to ensure time is used effectively to achieve their priorities.
Liaison with UK and Welsh Government private offices, the Secretary of State’s constituency team, and external stakeholders to manage conflicting priorities and diary issues, exercising good judgement and flexibility.
Co-ordination and planning of the logistics for ministerial travel and visits.
Oversight of all invitations, seeking steers on which should be accepted, working with policy and communications colleagues to advise on these matters.
Building and maintaining positive relationships with teams at the Wales Office, across Government and externally.
Prepare diary cards and briefings packs for the Secretary of State.
Lead on a policy portfolio within the office as part of their ‘Assistant Private Secretary’ role, attending Ministerial visits and events.

The Prison Contracts Group (PCG) group sits within the Directorate of Contracted Operational Delivery (DoCOD) which is responsible for the operational contract management of a large portfolio of contracts, including Prisoner Escort Custody Service, Electronic Monitoring, Community Rehabilitation Services, Prisoner Education and Operational Contracts for a variety of goods and services.

PMP contracts alone have an annual value of £564m. PMPs were first introduced to the UK in 1992 when the Conservative Government issued short-term contracts to security companies to operate a limited number of publicly owned prisons, the first being HMP Wolds in Yorkshire which was operated by G4S. The first wholly private prisons were often financed through the use of a Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) under private finance initiatives (PFI). These were often known as DCMF prisons as they were designed, constructed, managed and financed by the private sector, the first being HMP Altcourse which opened in December 1997 and was operated by G4S.

There are currently 15 privately operated prisons in England and Wales* operated by G4S Justice Services, Serco Custodial Services and Sodexo Custodial Services. In total they currently accommodate approximately 20% of the closed prison population across England and Wales. (*HMP Parc is managed under the Area Executive Director (AED) for Wales and not the PCG).

PMPs are subject to the same scrutiny from official bodies as those in the Public Sector, including HM Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP), Ofsted, and Operational and System Assurance Group (OSAG). Governors of private prisons are referred to as ‘Directors'. They each have their own staffing structure and they work to their respective Chief Operating Officer (COO). Prison Custody Officers (PCOs) are trained to the same level as Prison Officers and are licenced by Controllers to operate as a PCO once they are fully qualified. All privately managed prisons have a named Controller who, with their team, ensures the prison is operated in line with the agreed contract.

The expectation is that the successful candidate will spend 60% of the time in the office of a privately managed prison in one of the following locations:

• HMP Ashfield – Bristol

• HMP Forest Bank – Salford

• HMP Fosse Way - Wigston, Leics

• HMP Northumberland – Morpeth

• HMP Oakwood – Featherstone, W Mids

• HMP Peterborough - Cambs
