Since its creation in 2018, the WRA has raised over 2 billion in devolved taxes, funding schools, the NHS, and communities across Wales.

Welsh language skills are not essential, but the successful candidate will be supported to learn and develop them. As a Disability Confident Leader, the WRA guarantees interviews to all disabled candidates meeting minimum criteria.

Why Join the WRA?

• 25-30 days annual leave, plus public holidays and a privilege day.
• Civil Service pension with generous employer contributions.
• Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
