Equal Opportunities

The Civil Service is an equal opportunities employer. It is totally committed to ensuring that it represents the rich diversity of today’s society. It is also committed to recruitment based on ability, skills and potential - regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, community background (in the case of Northern Ireland) or age, although Departments will expect some years’ service before retirement, especially from trainees.

All our recruitment processes are bound by the Civil Service Commissioners’ rules on appointments. As such, they are based on fair and open competition, with selection on merit. Your career progression will also be determined on merit.

Government Departments and agencies must comply with equal opportunities legislation and with the Codes of Practice issued under such legislation.
