I found this video so interesting, I had no real understanding of the civil service tbh! I spent 5 years in University to become a Biology teacher (in Ireland and uk) and although I love my job, i'm still paying off student debt in a career that's underpaid and undervalued. Only found your channel recently, i'm also an army wife and due my first baby not long after you! 😊

Policy Advisor in Defra 😍

The civil service has definitely opened doors for me. So much so I even got my family in. I left school with no GCSE or A levels, but I've worked as an AO and EO in HMRC and Insolvency Service, EO in DWP and now work as a policy advisor in Defra as an HEO. I honestly love it. I'd never have imagined I would be on over £30k per year, in a profession like I'm doing with all the flexibility such as remote working and flexible working considering my qualifications. I'm now waiting on the date for my Grade 7 interview.

Can you give some interview tips please.

This is very insightful! 🙌🏾 Currently interning at the Civil Service and this has been very helpful in showing the level of progression possible in the civil service.

Definitely agree that university isn’t for everyone! You’re such an inspiration and it really shows how much you enjoy your job and ultimately that is the most important thing! I’m currently 20 and going into my final year of my psychology degree in September and then I’m thinking about going a PGCE and becoming a primary school teacher! So definitely will be a while until I get a proper job but it really is individual for everyone as I still feel so young! Love your channel so real and honest!xx

Thank you so much for this video!! Im 22 just finished uni but will also be starting an Apprenticeship with hmrc!! Cant wait!! Im so happy!!☺

Great video! Civil Service employees here’s in the states means you work for the government. It’s a great job to have here because it cones with lots of job security and benefits which here are not as common as in Europe (I grew up in Germany)! So it’s a nice secure job! I always told our girls to do what makes them happy and they will never work a day in their lives! I think you are a little younger than our girls and are so well spoken and have it all figured out already. Good for you! Our youngest is 25 and still in University. She took a couple of years off and is now back at it! Hugs 🤗

With my apprenticeship in the civil service as an ‘engineer’. we literally applied through indeed, those who they like got asked to go in for a test to see what you know about basic engineering, they then invited a certain amount for an interview to test your mental side, a low amount of people got in but it’s so great £18,000 a year at 18 is great.

Fast stream is a brilliant and such an underrated pathway, working in the civil service myself; I have a handful of people go from graduate to director extremely fast.

Hi. Great video and well edited! It was of excellent quality and very informative! I have know a lot more about the Civil Service than I did 15 minutes ago! I love my politics and I'm hugely interested in the Government so I am very motivated and determined to strive on a Higher/Degree Apprenticeship upon completing my A Levels. I applied for an Apprenticeship within the Cabinet Office and I have completed the written assessment and the Video Interview (first Interview in my life over Google Meet). I was informed that I will know the outcome in December and then go through Security Clearance. Please wish me the best of luck! I hope you are well during these unprecedented times!

If you suspect you don't have the qualifications or you do just apply for the job or apprenticeship honestly that's what I'm doing. Done a degree & been in a few crap jobs since but I feel after watching this video Civil service jobs are the way to go. Regardless off if you are made redundant at least you'll have the company on your CV and transferable skills.

Hi, I’m considering getting an apprenticeship in the civil service however I’ve noticed they no longer run the fast track scheme so there are less apprenticeships. Am I understanding correct that you wouldn’t necessarily have to do an apprenticeship and you could join a lower grade job and then work your way up? Xx

Would you say that your very decent salary for your age and without a degree is just luck or do you think it’s common for civil service apprentices to earn this kind of money at such a young age? Also do you think that your lack of a degree holds you back/ will hold you back in the future? Thank you !

Do you still work as a civil servant ?
