The Civil Service is an integral part of the government of the United Kingdom. It supports the government of the day in developing and implementing its policies, and in delivering public services. Civil servants are accountable to ministers, who in turn are accountable to Parliament.

There are a wide range of opportunities to build rewarding careers while supporting the lives of people across the UK. Civil Servants work in roles as diverse as Customer Service Advisor, Policy Maker, Web Developer, Content Creator, or even Weapons Engineer and Marine Biologist.
