Civil Servants: Recruitment
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will list all civil service roles that have been (a) internally and (b) externally-advertised between 4 July 2024 and 11 February 2025.
Answered by Ms Abena Oppong-Asare
Between 4 July 2024 and 11 February 2025, approximately 8,000 vacancies were advertised through the Civil Service Jobs website. To note, an advertised vacancy may contain a number of posts, hence the variance between the number of vacancies and the number of roles in the table below. Listing all of these roles individually could only be done at disproportionate cost.
However, aggregate data is provided. Any recruitment conducted outside the Civil Service Jobs portal will not be included in these figures.
Approach | Number of vacancies | % of total | Number of roles | % of total |
External | 3749 | 47.47% | 15002 | 68.76% |
Internal/across government | 4149 | 52.53% | 6815 | 31.24% |
Total | 7898 |
| 21,817 |
