Our people

If you think DWP is run by administrators with no idea of the ‘real world’, think again!

The Civil Service is changing. At DWP you will find a diverse and supportive environment and we are committed to ensuring everyone has the professional skills and expertise needed to do their job well.

As a Senior Civil Servant you will need to demonstrate leadership and professional skills in:

• people management
• financial management
• programme and project management
• analysis and use of evidence
• strategic thinking
• communications and marketing.

For more information about the skills required in today’s civil service, see the Professional Skills for Government website.
