HR or Human Resources is responsible for ensuring the business gets the most value out of its people in order to successfully achieve organisational objectives. It does this by:
- Enhancing and developing their skills and capabilities
- Providing effective leadership
- Raising employee engagement
- Changing the way work is delivered and managing that change effectively
- And generally achieving more by working 'smarter' rather than harder
The HR Professionalism and Performance Team is part of the Leadership & Development Strategy Directorate. We are based in the Civil Service Capability Group (CSCG) within the Cabinet Office, and support the HR Leaders’ Council in accelerating Human Resources (HR) transformation and improving people management across the Civil Service, leading to more effective and efficient business delivery and public services.
The Professional Skills for Government (PSG) HR Professional Standards have been aligned with the CIPD HR Profession Map, and have been designed to provide a clear outline of the requirements and skills expected of all Civil Service HR practitioners at specific career points. The descriptors contained in the Standards underpin the behaviours expected of our HR professionals.
All Civil Service vacancies are handled centrally. You can search for vacancies in all government departments via the jobs section where you will also find details of how to apply.
Further details on the delivery and reform agenda can be found on the Civil Service website.
