3. The Civil Service helps the government
of the day develop and carry out its
policies. We also deliver vital services
which help people across the country
and from all walks of life.
Civil servants work on things you just
don’t get to do anywhere else; from
education, health and public safety to
border control and cyber security,
we do it all.
Some of the areas where civil servants
are doing important work include:
• shaping healthcare so that people
can live better for longer
• collecting the money that pays for
the UK’s public services
• making sure the UK has secure,
clean, affordable energy
• leading global work to end poverty
and saving lives when communities
are hit by humanitarian emergencies
In a nutshell, we’re working to make
everyone in Britain happier, healthier
and safer.
There’s no such thing – we work in just
about every town and city in Britain,
and we come from every background
you can think of. In fact, the things that
make you unique are exactly what we
like to see in our workforce. We want
the Civil Service to reflect the society
it serves.

6. The business scheme offers
apprentices the widest variety of
roles across the Civil Service and
opportunities to help deliver some
of the organisation’s most
important services. You’ll gain skills
in problem-solving, teamwork,
planning and organisation, and
receive the support you’ll need to
develop and succeed. Business
roles are at the core of the work
the Civil Service does and will give
you the essential transferable skills
and experience you’ll need as you
start your career.
What will I do?
You could be a policy adviser in
a central department, the diary
manager of a minister, or a
paralegal officer at the Crown
Prosecution Service. Teamwork
and collaboration are essential
in all business areas and business
apprentices are often an important
part of this: organising high-profile
meetings, managing communications
and preparing key briefings.
While many business roles are
office-based, you’re just as likely
to be in a customer-facing role
such as a work coach in the
Department for Work and Pensions
or a customer assistant at Her
Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.
To apply, you need at least
five GCSEs at grade C and above,
including English Language and
Maths (or equivalent).
“My skills have developed
tremendously and I have
flourished as an individual and as
a potential leader in the Civil
Service. The scheme has been

has massively accelerated
my professional
development. I have
enjoyed every part of the
scheme so far and this is
down to the variety of
work that I do; it has
never become
monotonous because it’s
always changing!”
– Sam,
Software Developer
The demand for digital and
technology skills continues to
grow across all sectors. Our
apprenticeship scheme offers
you the perfect opportunity to
learn these skills while you gain
real on-the-job experience and
earn a competitive salary.
The Civil Service continues to use
technology to transform its
services, making them simpler,
clearer and faster to use. And, most
importantly, focusing the services
around the needs of the people
using them. There’s never been a
more exciting time to get involved.
What will I do?
You’ll learn a range of different
technical skills, as well as the
communication and organisational
skills you’ll need to work alongside
colleagues and clients. Some of the
fantastic roles on offer include:
software developer, software
tester, support technician, QA test
automator and support analyst.
Digital
and
Techn logy
To apply, you’ll need at least five GCSEs, at grade C and above including,
English Language and Maths (or equivalent). You will also need
two A levels, at grade C and above, in STEM subjects. STEM subjects

8. “As well as providing me
with financial skills, the
Fast Track has given me
the chance to meet new
people and develop
networks that will be
invaluable to me as I
progress my career.”
– Gurdeep,
Treasury and
Scheme Accountant
Delivering value for money for the
taxpayer is one of the Civil Service’s
key objectives and the finance
apprenticeship allows you to be
at the heart of that. You’ll enter
a specialist profession and be
supported as you learn the skills
and set the foundations you’ll need
for a successful career in finance.
What will I do?
You could be working as an
accounts executive, analyst, control
officer or costs budget manager.
Producing monthly management
reports, compiling finance instructions
for budgets or providing financial
guidance on business cases are just
some of the tasks you might find
yourself doing.
Completing a finance apprenticeship
offers lots of prospects for promotion
and a number of possible career
paths with opportunities for further
study and accreditation. You could
become a key decision maker,
shaping the way government works
and playing an essential role in the
delivery of front-line services and
policies which affect the public.
To apply, you’ll need at least
five GCSEs at grade C and above,
including English Language and
Maths (or equivalent).

9. Project
Delivery
“I have learnt new skills
and developed as a
professional thanks to the
opportunities the scheme
has given me, such as
shadowing directors,
collaboration days and
social events. I feel my
decision to earn, learn and
succeed in the public sector
has given me a clear vision
for my future.”
– Kyran,
Project Support Officer
If you want to work on some of the
most fast-paced and challenging
projects in the UK today, then the
project delivery apprenticeship is
for you. Ranging from proton beam

plans to court reform and Building

being undertaken within the Civil
Service are of a scale and
complexity that you won’t find
anywhere else in the UK. You’ll be

valuable skills at the same time as
earning a very competitive salary.
And you’ll have the rewarding
experience of knowing that the
projects you work on can transform
the lives of millions of citizens
across the country.
What will I do?
You’ll be working with experienced
project delivery professionals from
day one, learning from their
experience and working across a
range of important roles. You could
be supporting project reviews,
managing risks, building
relationships with stakeholders,
forecasting budgets, analysing
data and producing reports.
You won’t need any previous
project experience – all we’re
looking for are positive, proactive
people who’ll make the most of
the opportunities they’re given.
You could be working in high-profile
departments such as the
Department for Transport, the Home
Office, the Ministry of Justice or the
Ministry of Defence.
To apply, you’ll need at least
five GCSEs at grade C and above,
including English Language and
Maths (or equivalent). You will also
need two A levels, at grade D and
above in any subject.

10. “My apprenticeship has given me a real
insight into the commercial world and
allowed me to gain a level of experience
and skills that I wouldn’t have been able
to get at university. I truly feel that the
Fast Track is an excellent way to
kick-start your career.”
– Emma,
Sourcing Executive

work for one of Europe’s biggest
buying organisations
With the UK government spending
£240 billion every year, there’s
no better place for you to gain
commercial skills and real
on-the-job negotiation experience.
You could play a part in sealing a
crucial deal, negotiate with the
senior managers of some of the
UK’s largest companies and work
on some of the government’s most
interesting projects. Since
improving commercial skills is
one of the Civil Service’s highest
priorities, you’ll receive plenty
of support as you develop the
abilities and build the networks
for a successful career.
What will I do?
The Commercial apprenticeship
offers you an incredible variety
of experiences in a number of
government departments – you
could be buying battleships for
the Ministry of Defence, procuring
prisons for the Ministry of Justice
or negotiating the cost of medical
equipment for the Department
of Health.
You won’t need any previous
commercial experience – we’re
looking for people with inquisitive
minds, excellent problem-solving
abilities and a real enthusiasm to
learn about business. Commercial
skills are sought after in both
the public and private sector,
and the things you learn on the
apprenticeship will open up a
world of opportunity.

five GCSEs at grade C and above,

why we only have a handful of

then you’re also welcome to apply.

least five GCSEs at grade C and
above, including English Language
and Maths (or equivalent), or you
must expect to have these

think about our graduate scheme,
the Fast Stream programme.

you’ll need additional qualifications:
• for the project delivery scheme,

12. After your
apprenticeship
While it used to be the case
that Fast Streamers would have
come from one of Britain’s top
universities…you can now join
the Fast Stream without having
gone to university at all and
I think that’s a fantastic tribute
to the quality of our
apprenticeship scheme.
Sir Jeremy Heywood,
Head of the Civil Service
Completing your apprenticeship
successfully will give you the skills
and experience you need to kick-start
your career and progress through
the organisation.
The Fast Track programme is all about
finding the future leaders of the Civil
Service – that could be you.
After successfully completing your
Level 4 apprenticeship, you’ll be
a permanent employee of the
Civil Service.
You may have reached the end of
your apprenticeship but your career
is just beginning. You’ll be able to
apply internally for roles on the Civil
Service Jobs website. You can further
develop your skills or learn entirely
new ones using the courses and
resources offered by Civil Service
Learning. In many cases, you’ll be
able to gain further accreditation
in your field and you’ll be supported
in taking your career in any direction
you like.
In doing so, you can work towards one
of the many career paths within the
25 Civil Service professions including
communications, project delivery,
operational delivery, HR and digital
technology. You’ll also be able to
apply for the Fast Stream, the Civil
Service’s flagship graduate recruitment
programme, even if you don’t have
a degree.

13. Helping you to achieve
your potential
As my own children have grown up,
I’ve really come to appreciate that
everyone develops at their own
rate. A career in the Civil Service
is rewarding, but like any demanding
work there are times when apprentices
need extra help. My team provides
that help.
We don’t underestimate the challenge
of starting a new job in a large
organisation, performing in a
demanding role and studying.
That’s why, alongside departments,
we support apprentices to settle
quickly and to be confident about
performing at their best. We’ve a
dedicated welfare officer who offers
confidential guidance and who’s
worked with apprentices across
government and the private sector.
The Fast Track apprenticeship programme is proving to be a fabulous opportunity
for my son Elliot. University wasn’t a route that he wanted to take – he knew that
his learning style was much better suited to on-the-job experience.
Once he’d identified the Fast Track, he was convinced that it was the programme
for him. He’s been on the programme since September 2015 and we couldn’t be
more delighted with how he’s been doing. He’s finding his day job enjoyable and
challenging and has been working towards a qualification while being supported
and coached by mentors around future opportunities.
He’s thriving in the environment – and has so much ambition and focus around his
future. I’d recommend the Fast Track apprenticeship to anyone.
Liz Williams,
mother of Elliot Williams and Director
of Tech Literacy and Education, BT Group
Jo Hollis,
Fast Track Talent Manager
Once apprentices are recruited
and join departments, my team’s
work begins. We design and deliver
induction events to build confidence
and understanding about what the
Civil Service offers and the exciting
opportunities ahead.
When apprentices join we also make
sure that they have a ‘buddy’ in their
team, and as they move through the
programme we provide mentors and
timely coaching. We keep apprentices
talking to one another and we’ve
built a network of existing and
former apprentices who can share
their experience.
We’re very proud of the achievements
of our apprenticeship graduates, with
over 95 per cent of our first group
passing their diploma.
A parent’s
view
An apprenticeship is an exciting opportunity, but there
are some occasions when apprentices need extra
support. Jo Hollis, Fast Track manager, understands this.
