Prime Minister: Civil Servants
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the Department's policy is on the (a) advertisement of and (b) process for appointment of senior civil service roles.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The Department’s policy is to advertise senior civil service roles externally by default, unless there is an exemption. The Civil Service Commission Recruitment Principles (2018), which are published online, set out how external competitions for Deputy Director, Director and internal or external competitions for Director General and Permanent Secretary roles are processed.
