Spring into Jobs Fair

for Employers

Civil Service Fast Stream

The Civil Service is responsible for formulating central government policy, and for implementing it by providing services direct to the public. It is made up of around 490,000 people working in more than 160 government departments and agencies.

Civil servants are adminsitrators and policy makers, and are the people who deliver crucial services directly to the public. But they can also be economists, statisticians, researchers, scientists, engineers, HR professionals or experts in technology, to name a few.

Graduate Opportunities

The Civil Service Fast Stream is an accelerated training and development graduate programme aimed at people who have the potential to become the future leaders of the Civil Service. It is ranked among the top five Times Top 100 Graduate Employers.

One reason for the programme’s popularity is that it enables graduates to bring innovative solutions to some of the biggest issues facing society today. Whether in employment or education, the environment or the economy, Fast Streamers can have a real impact on life in the UK and beyond.

It’s also an opportunity to build up a wide range of experience and skills, as Fast Streamers move regularly between projects across policy delivery, operational delivery and corporate services.

Undergraduate Opportunities

The Civil Service Summer Diversity Internship Programmes for black and ethnic minority and disabled students were established with the aim of providing high calibre undergraduates/graduates with a 6-9 weks stretching work placement within government departments.
