3.7/5
57 Reviews

Education. Health. Justice. Employment. Defence. Transport. Climate change. International development and Foreign affairs. These are just some of the areas where the UK Civil Service provides high-quality advice and support to the Government and helps deliver world-class public services, while consistently applying our core values of honesty, objectivity, integrity and impartiality.

The Civil Service helps the Government of the day to develop and deliver its policies as effectively as possible. We work in a wide range of areas that touch on everyone’s day-to-day lives.

Because our organisations deal with so many different aspects of government, civil servants work in an enormous variety of roles. We employ 498,000 civil servants, almost three-quarters of whom work outside London and the South-East.

Civil servants are politically impartial. Our workforce includes staff working on policy development and implementation, including analysts, project managers, lawyers and economists. We also have people who deliver crucial services direct to the public across the UK, such as Jobcentre Plus staff and coastguards.
