How to apply
The job advert explains how to apply for Senior Civil Service jobs and how to get a Candidate Briefing Pack. The pack includes more information about the job and the application process.
The selection process usually takes seven weeks from closing date to final interview. A typical application will involve:
- CV and a covering letter
- psychometric test – to inform questioning at interview
- Selection Board interview – you may also be asked to give a short presentation.
Sometimes we work with recruitment consultants who will conduct preliminary interviews with you to provide information for the Selection Board.
We will keep in touch with you at each stage of the process.
After the interviews the Selection Board will recommend the candidate they consider most suitable for appointment. We will then ask you for further personal information and permission to conduct checks on health, nationality and other matters before formally offering you the job.
