Government Jobs Overview
If you’ve always loved the idea of having a job where you can make a direct impact in your community and beyond, then a government career may be for you. Government jobs can be incredibly rewarding, exciting, and lucrative. You’ll have the opportunity to influence how the country is run, be it at a local, regional, or national level.
Government careers aren’t just reserved for politicians. While Members of Parliament certainly make up a generous proportion of the UK government job sector, there are literally tens of thousands of additional roles. And the majority of these are not appointed by an election but rather based on merit and qualifications.
The UK government jobs sector is primarily made up of three major components:
- elected roles (such as MPs and the Prime Minister, local Councillors)
- members of the Civil Service (employees within associations employed by the Crown, such as the HM Revenues & Custom and Department for Transport)
- local government organisations (such as the administrative staff that make up local council authorities)
While there are seemingly endless amounts of different types of government careers out there, public sector jobs are common. If you’re interested in this career route, you may also wish to explore:
Government Jobs Education and Skills
Many jobs in government will require at least a three-year university degree. However, some offer apprenticeship programs that you can take up after you’ve completed your A Levels and in some cases after you’ve finished your GCSE’s.
For more concrete educational requirement information, you may want to contact your desired government sector or agency directly. Or, if you’re still at school or university, a careers advisor should be able to guide you in the right direction.
Finally, almost all government employers will be seeking candidates that can demonstrate high organisational skills. You will also need to be of a trustworthy and discreet nature, as you’ll likely have access to confidential files and information once hired. Many roles will require proficient computer and numeracy skills, and some may favour candidates with additional language knowledge. Again, make sure you check what specific skills are required before you apply.
How Much Do Government Roles Pay?
The salary of a job in government completely depends on the specific role and seniority level. Different sectors of the government also have different pay bands. Once you’ve established what type of government job you’re after, do some research to get a clearer idea of what to expect.
Alternatively, you can delve into the official UK Government’s website to find salary transparency documents as well as salary bands for various government bodies and associations. Finally, government jobs are often popular due to their healthy salaries offered, and the chance to forge a long-term career with promotions available. As a result, government careers are often regarded as a relatively ‘safe’ career route in the UK jobs market.
Update Your CV
Government jobs are understandably very competitive, so you will need to create an impressive CV. Your CV should demonstrate how you’ve previously excelled in the types of skills and projects the job advertisement says it is looking for. You will also want to list all your academic qualifications and any relevant training you’ve received.
To help you craft a winning CV, make sure you take a look at our CV templates. Here you will get advice on CV structure and design. Also, you may want to explore our cover letter samples. A strong cover letter is bound to impress an employer, and it is a great opportunity to let your personality shine prior to that all-important first interview.
Preparing for Your Government Job Interview
You’ve landed the interview—congrats! But remember to fully prepare beforehand. Use our interview tips to help you stay calm and focused throughout your interview process. Government employers will likely ask you challenging questions, so be ready to think fast on your feet. They may also want to know what has drawn you to a specific career in the government, so make you’ve done your homework here. Researching the specific government department thoroughly beforehand is a great idea, as well as thinking about what specific and unique skills you can personally bring to the table.
