Senior Civil Servants: Recruitment
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the answer of 20 January 2026 to Question 104162 on Senior Civil Servants: Recruitment, what the department, grade and job title was of the 90 civil servants recruited that were advertised across government but not recruited externally.
Answered by Satvir Kaur
The table below shows the breakdown of grades for the vacancies referred to in our previous answer:
Grade | Offers Made |
SCS Pay Band 1 | 61 |
SCS Pay Band 2 | 21 |
SCS Pay Band 3 | 4 |
SCS Pay Band 4 | 4 |
Grand Total | 90 |
In order to release details of roles advertised cross-government, we would need to consult with each vacancy holder/recruitment team to understand why the role was not advertised externally (i.e. was this due to logistics or for security reasons) and seek their consent to public release. This would exceed the cost limit of PQs and, as such, we are unable to provide this information.
