Following the newly-launched Levelling Up White Paper, Alex Chisholm explores how moving thousands of Civil Service roles and creating more opportunity around the country will help us to build A Modern Civil Service. 

Last week the Government launched the much anticipated Levelling Up White Paper. The paper sets out an exciting agenda that includes urban regeneration across the UK, improving education and training, investing in communities, tackling inequalities in health and wellbeing, and creating jobs.

In the Civil Service, we have ambitious plans to level up career opportunities for people across the UK. Following the launch of our new vision for A Modern Civil Service, last summer we committed in the Declaration of Government Reform to move 22,000 roles outside of London, including 50% of Senior Civil Servant roles. 

This will mean that there are better career opportunities for you across the UK, offering varied roles for diverse talents that reflect the people we serve, and in the process bringing decision-making to communities. 

Jobs in the Civil Service are varied, whether that’s working in intelligence, supporting people to secure employment, protecting our borders, helping educate our children, writing policy that positively impacts citizens, or analysing data that helps us to make decisions that save lives – you can build a rewarding career while building up your skills.
