Funky Dave 10 #1 Posted November 1, 2004 Does anyone know how I'd find out about job opprtunities in the civil service? I'm after jobs a tad above the pay scales of admin officers - perhaps at £14k or over. Also, I'd prefer to stay in Sheffield rather than be posted to other cities. I've got oodles of admin experience and a good degree. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
D2J 10 #2 Posted November 1, 2004 Have you tried the Clerical Register at Rockingham Job Centre ?? Thats how I got in.. Degrees won't get you far in the Civil Service, its all competency based (or is was when I joined 6 years ago!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Funky Dave 10 #3 Posted November 1, 2004 I thought the clerical register was for temps? I need something permanent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
D2J 10 #4 Posted November 1, 2004 I joined as a temp.. 6 years later Im still there, applied for the jobs that came up whilst I was there and got in. Even be worth checking the Vacancy boards in the Job Centres for Civil Service jobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

extaxman 10 #7 Posted November 2, 2004 I worked for the Revenue for 42 years and got nowhere (possibly because I was a Union rep for most of them). If you really want to progress you'll need a brown nose! Seriously the faststream link is the best way - if you can stand it.
