All recruitment for my Department is conducted in accordance with the Commission for Public Service Appointments (CPSA) Codes of Practice. The Commission is the principal regulator of recruitment and selection processes within the public service. It has a statutory role to ensure that appointments in the organisations subject to its remit (that is, those that fall under the authority and scope of the Commission) are made on candidates’ merit and as a result of fair and transparent appointment processes.    

As well as open competitions conducted by the Public Appointment Service, recruitment to the Civil Service can also take place through other means; Recruitment under a Department’s own Recruitment Licence and under Excluding Order from the CPSA. 

All recruitment in my Department is through open and interdepartmental competitions conducted by the PAS, or through lateral moves through Redeployment, Secondment or transfer/mobility in the Public Service.
