PERMANENT SECRETARY TO THE WELSH ASSEMBLY GOVERNMENTThese notes provide candidates with information on the above appointment. Paragraphs 16 to 22 give information on how to apply. Please note that applications need to be received at the address email or fax number given in paragraph 17 by 10 January not later than noon. Background1. The Welsh Assembly Government is the devolved government for Wales with wide-ranging responsibilities for developing policy and putting it into practice. Its law-making powers originally bestowed by the Government of Wales Act 1999 have recently been enhanced (by the Government of Wales Act 2006). Its four priorities are currently: helping more people into jobs; improving health; developing strong and safe communities; and creating better jobs and skills. The list of policy areas for which the Welsh Assembly Government is responsible is at Annex A.2. The First Minister of Wales is the Rt. Hon. Rhodri Morgan AM and he has appointed 8 Welsh Ministers to serve in his Cabinet which is the main decision making body of the Welsh Assembly Government.3. Assembly Government Ministers are supported by a workforce of over 6,000 civil servants just over half of whom are located in Cardiff with the remainder based in 80 or so Assembly Government offices across Wales and elsewhere. Assembly Government civil servants led by the Permanent Secretary are accountable to Assembly Government Ministers who are in turn accountable to the National Assembly for Wales; this is the legislative body which comprises 60 elected Members and is based in Cardiff.4. The Welsh Assembly Government is one of the largest public sector bodies in Wales with an annual budget of over £14 billion. It is a young organisation which is maturing fast following the establishment of devolved government in Wales in 1999. It is at the leading edge of reform of the Welsh public sector with the aim of delivering better integrated and more responsive services for the people of Wales.5. The Welsh Assembly Government comprises eight Policy Departments and five Corporate Departments. The Heads of Department form the core of the organisation’s Management Board chaired by the Permanent Secretary which also includes non-executive Directors – currently two with up to two more being sought through open competition to take up post early in 2008.6. Over half of the staff is located in Cardiff with the other 45% in over 80 Assembly Government offices around Wales and further afield. By 2010 over 50% of staff will be working outside Cardiff. There is a target for securing recurrent administrative efficiency savings of £10.6m for 2007-08 increasing to £12m in 2008-09.7. The people of Wales and their government face unprecedented challenges. The programme of government set out in One Wales: A progressive agenda for the government of Wales meets these challenges head on. It offers a progressive agenda for improving the quality of life of people in all of Wales’s communities from all walks of life and especially the most vulnerable and disadvantaged. The ambition is no less than to transform Wales into a self-confident prosperous healthy nation and society which is fair to all.8. Further information is available on the website. The role9. The key elements of the role of Permanent Secretary are:· chief policy adviser to the First Minister and the Assembly Government Cabinet;· Principal Accounting Officer accountable to the National Assembly for Wales for Assembly Government expenditure;· head of the Assembly Government civil service with leadership responsibility for the organisation and for its corporate strategic direction priorities and results; and· an active role in the corporate leadership of the UK-wide civil service through membership of the Civil Service Management Group and other corporate contributions.10.

Whitehall and the Devolved Administrations key partners and stakeholders and others. The person11. The successful candidate should ideally possess the following qualities and characteristics:· Leadership: a strong track record of successfully driving change and delivery in a complex and demanding environment;· Political awareness: a thorough understanding of the constitutional and political context within which the Welsh Assembly Government operates together with the ability to identify and defuse potentially sensitive issues and to operate effectively in a highly transparent environment;· Determination and personal resilience: the capacity to find a way through difficulties and to persevere in the face of criticism including criticism in the media/public domain;· Communication: the ability to articulate clear messages to staff partners and stakeholders and to manage complex relationships across boundaries;· Personal effectiveness: the ability to inspire and motivate through personal example to set and uphold standards and to see through tough decisions when necessary;· Financial Management: an understanding of what it means to be personally responsible for a large and complex budget and for maintaining strong governance arrangements;· Knowledge of Wales: an excellent appreciation of the policy issues facing Wales and a sensitive understanding of what matters to the people of Wales;· Welsh language skills: experience of operating in a bilingual environment could be an advantage; as could the ability to speak Welsh although this is not essential. Terms and conditions of employment12. This is a permanent appointment under normal Civil Service terms. An attractive package will be offered. The current minimum is £148,841 and the starting salary will be set with the agreement of the independent Permanent Secretaries Remuneration Committee taking account of experience and relativity to other similar Permanent Secretary posts. The salary will be reviewed annually by the independent committee. Like others at this level the appointee will be eligible for a non-consolidated bonus depending on performance against their specific delivery objectives. There is an annual leave allowance of 30 days plus 8 days’ bank holiday and 2.5 privilege days taken at fixed times of the year.13. The retirement age for the Civil Service is currently 65. Unless you decide otherwise pension benefits are provided under the Civil Service Pension Scheme. The headquarters of the Welsh Assembly Government is in central Cardiff and relocation expenses may be available if you have to move to take up the appointment. Equality and Diversity14. We are committed to supporting the principle that everybody should have the same opportunities for employment development and progression. This should be based on their ability competence and suitability for the job. This means that no applicant or employee should receive less favourable treatment on the grounds of their race colour gender sexual orientation age marital status disability religion family or domestic responsibilities or working patterns. Also nobody should be disadvantaged by any specific conditions or requirements unless it can be justified that these could affect their ability to do the job. Speaking with a representative of the so-called Welsh Civil Service yesterday morning. I was reminded that selection for appointment to the Civil Service is on merit on the basis of and. Unless there happens to be an impressive person of Welsh descent roaming the corridors of Whitehall in search of what was previously seen in HR terms as a stepping stone to higher office. It's no job for a lady - or should that read - rarely a job for a lady. Rachel Lomax. Sir Jon Shortridge's predecessor at the former Welsh Office remains the only woman to head-up the 'Wales Department' in its various guises. As the New Year's Honours list is still topical - it reminds me that she still remains the only Permanent Secretary of that department (1996-1999) not to have been given a titular honour. Derek Jones is at least Welsh. But I'd settle for the next Permanent Secretary (or quite a few other WAG senior civil servants) deigning to even live in Wales. What about the rumours about Gareth Hall being a dark horse for the job. Never has a nonentity risen so far so quickly.... Go on Miss Wagstaff you should apply. The advert should say at the end of the background section: "If you didn't know any of these points before reading there's little point in applying." This seems a little harsh on Rachel Lomax given her career. She's managed to achieve more than most so it make you wonder what she's done wrong. Rachel Lomax was ace in the post we could do no better but why would she come back. She has a brilliant job. What about an expat who is working in the Civil Service outside of Wales - we could do with someone with good relative experience to lead. Gareth Hall - you are joking he is not a civil servant. Of more interest to me today is the report from JRF on the regeneration of the Valleys may be someone as Perm Sec who could understand that life is important beyond Cardiff would be good. This is what I blogged on today -hoping possibly someone from WAG or a politico would read it! Rachel Lomax? are you kidding the disaster that was and to an extent still is the Siemens contract with the assembly was in her watch. I believe £32 million overspend on the last contract??? She moved on and left the new assembly with that disastr no civil serant shoud be inthe honours list for doing there job anyway. Gareth Hall - maybe to justify the salary he brught in from the WDA but hardly. It'd be nice to have someone outside Wales to be frank to shake things up a bit. Currently the welsh civil service id dire. Inside Wals Gareth Jones ex WAG and now Companies House has to be favourite. Wasn't suggesting that Ms Lomax be brought back merely puzzled as to why she remains the only Permanent Secretary of the Welsh Office/ Welsh Assembly Government not to be given an honour. My selection(s) are in the post. Sir Humphrey said:"It'd be nice to have someone outside Wales to be frank to shake things up a bit. Currently the welsh civil service id dire."Wake up Humphrey! Most of the senior lot are already from outside Wales. Jon Shortridge doesn't even live in Wales. anonymous - in response. Jon Short lives in Shrewsbury which is to be air close enough but i agee not ideal who else prey tell lives outside? Lets not be too insular people I don't think many people would associate civil servants with shaking things up at all. The important thing is not so much where THEY come from but if they understand the issues in Wales (not many in England do). In fact (referring to Miss Wagstaff's most recent blog post) it is rather indicative that almost ten years since the start of the Welsh Assembly a story that basically says 'things are now developing differently in the devolved regions' should be news to anyone. Pippa gets the impression that Rhodri would prefer a Welsh candidate next time round rather than one parachuted in by Whitehall. What about John Taylor - he was always popular and efficent. He is also now head of ACAS so would have lots of skills to bring John Taylor has far too much experience and would find the civil service in Cardiff too restrictive and full of redundant ideas. Get a taff in there too many Saxons at the top already. Bit hard to single out Lomax for the Siemens contract every IT contract in every Government Dept is a bloody disaster. Nothing works and the more they don't work the more money the IT providers make... a scandal. Siemens is nothing -look at LG Yes Lsa you are probably right John Taylor would be too good but a breath of fresh air. If these people earn thier big fat salaries in Wales,I think that they should live and spend some of it here. There's nothing quite like IT contracts. IT is always a bloody disaster in government departments as one comment states. VM - It would be nice if they knew something about the country and its current situation before they take on the role of 'Chief Poicy Adviser'. A political blog of Welsh origin. Analysing - among other things - the 'One Wales Agreement/Government' and whether it is serving the people of Wales or merely a convenient way for Labour to stay in power and for Plaid Cymru to gain ministerial experience. Pippa Wagstaff is taking a short break to deal with a family issue. Posts have been drafted and will be published at set intervals until she returns.

I currently be on the east coast. Since I've been a member I noticed that the majority of jobs are located on the west coast. I am willing to move but probably not for at least a year from now. I am interviewing for a position with one company that has stores on the east/west coast. Should I tell them up front that I plan to assign within the year? Well as we all learned in Kindergarten - honesty is the best policy. But honesty isn't going to get you the job. Very few populate will hire you if they experience you are going to leave - they have to alter too large an investment with too little go. If you really be the job. I wouldn't express them. Who knows what ordain actually come about a year from now - maybe you will like it and be to stay.. who knows. zero chance of landing the job adjust would be desire telling a new employer that you intend to get pregnant in the first year of employment and ordain need a few months off at that time good luck. I acknowledge the feedback but I evaluate you guys missed the move where I said the company has stores on both glide. I'd still be working for the same affiliate. Do you comfort conclude I should act my relocation plans under wraps? No tell them what your plans are. If they feel like they be you they ordain fasten you up with a lay on the east coast when you make that kind of decisions think about your determine when i was interning my boss was always saying " I move wait to hire you because we really need you". I evaluate he regreted it when we had to sit down and talking about salary because I knew for a fact that I had became an unvaluable asset to him. I disagree with Aivanne (sorry!). I wouldn't express them. Because the populate who ordain be doing the training ordain be in the East. I can't see them wanting to take the time to train you for their office just to ship you to another office. There are obviously instances where this does happen: even in my own company we hired a girl from France and trained her knowing that her bring home the bacon endorse was only valid for a year but we did have the option of renewing it so I think that was the swinging decision. Or if you get the job a year from now you sit drink for your yearly review and outline your goals of relocating. Then the affiliate can back up you transfer. I just don't evaluate you ordain get the job upfront if you tell them. i accept bad advice from aivanne hiring new people is not a fun job sifting through endless resumes interviewing etc takes measure no company wants to contract and train a person and then have to rehire and train another person just as you undergo come up to speed and want to get anything less than 2 years on the job looks shady on any bear on I look at i immediately disqualified a person last week because he had 5 jobs in 5 years i don't be a guy that is only using me as a stepping kill i GUARANTEE you that if you express them you only intend to be on the job for a specific amount of measure you ordain not get hired i made the move 23 years ago from the midwest sometimes you just have to act a come about however don't value the cost of living in SoCal it's outrageous and frequently has me thinking of going elsewhere (hawaii). agreed w/ bmx don't express them change surface if you get hired I'd tell them midway or just when that month notice is in. Make sure you know how long you be to be working for the affiliate b4 they can assign you it's usually 6 months so you'd be golden but don't mention it to them comfort until it's past that 6 months and yes socal is pricey very but the weather is ameliorate bmx has his points man. Thank you so much for everyone's input... I love these forums.. this is the first measure in my go I undergo networked for information to command me. I wish I would undergo done this 15 years ago when I started making my choices.
