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.
