As you would imagine, some of the benefts of being in the Fast Stream are evident from the start, with most departments providing a variety of ways to help and assist you.
A place in the Fast Stream will enable you to develop quickly and move posts more frequently than you would ordinarily expect. As a result, you should be ready to accept a promotion in a few years. Ideally, you’ll be keen to take on a post in the Senior Civil Service after that.

Starting salaries vary across departments. In London, they usually range between £25,000 and £27,000. Different salary scales may be applicable in the regions. Pay increases are based purely on performance.
You’ll receive around 25 days’ holiday per year plus 10.5 days’ public and privilege holidays. You will also have access to a pension scheme, costing a maximum of 3.5% of your salary.
A good work-life balance is another potential benefit. Some departments offer fl exible and part-time working arrangements, job share opportunities and career breaks, as well as crèches, holiday play schemes and childcare assistance.
Other benefits may include season ticket loans and sports and social facilities. Again, your specific package will depend on which department you join.
