Recruitment of new Civil Service Commissioners

We are looking to recruit four independent Civil Service Commissioners to join our board and chair recruitment panels for senior Civil Service roles. 

We would like to encourage applications from right across the UK, and particularly from Scotland as we are looking for a link Commissioner for Scotland. We are also seeking a Commissioner with financial skills to chair our Audit and Risk Committee. 

Commissioners work part time, typically 5-10 days per month.

For more information about these roles and details of open sessions for potential applicants, please take a look at the application pack.

The closing date is 3 February 2026.
