Jessica Hatchett

Civic Participation Officer

Jess who has long red hair is sitting in her wheelchair in a park of leafy green trees. She's smiling broadly at the camera and is wearing a bright pink and purple leopard print top.

Jessica joined the DW team as Civic Participation Officer in September 2025.

She leads on the Access to Elected Office Fund Wales – a fund designed to support disabled people seeking elected office in the Senedd 2026 election and the 2027 Local Government elections.

With experience in the public sector, third sector, and journalism, Jess brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the team.

Beyond work, Jess is a big fan of live music, films, TV, and books. She also drinks a lot of tea and enjoys chocolate, pasta, and curry – though not all at once!
