Unsure what you want from your next step, which options fit or how to move forward? My Civil Service Careers Toolkit will help you understand how the Civil Service works, choose your level and profession, and recognise the experience you can bring.
It draws on my own move from frontline work into policy and strategy across local and national government, including progressing from AO to Grade 7 in the Civil Service. It also draws on what I learned from interviewing 30+ public servants, including diplomats, Directors General and Permanent Secretaries, about their careers.
“I found the toolkit to be comprehensive, and it is definitely a good starting point for thinking through where I want to go and how I can get there. I particularly liked the level of detail in your prompts.”
“I like the easy to understand language, how the different sections are set out.”
Understand the main grades and how to choose a level that fits your experience.
The guide explains how Civil Service grades are structured, what each level usually involves and how responsibilities change as you progress, so you can read job adverts with more confidence and target roles at the right level.
