Civil servant (general)

General civil servants carry out the day-to-day administrative work of government, implementing policies and delivering public services. The work involves processing applications and cases, drafting correspondence, maintaining records, advising the public, and ensuring decisions follow the rules and procedures that govern public administration.

They work across government departments and agencies at every level. The role suits organised, conscientious people who value public service, can apply complex rules fairly and consistently, and find satisfaction in keeping the machinery of government running for the people it serves.
