As part of the Government Reform plans, we will see a greater investment in training for civil servants, with high standards for online provision as well as the creation of a new physical campus. We will see a bolster in traditional skills such as drafting written advice, understanding statistical concepts, and appreciating how Parliament works, as well as developing expertise in areas including digital, data, science, and project and commercial delivery.

Civil Service Local has been working with the Civil Service Race Forum (CSRF) to understand the current knowledge gaps that exist among civil servants, and the factors that hold aspiring staff members back from achieving their full potential - particularly those from diverse backgrounds that are less well-represented at senior grades.

Consultation undertaken by CSRF, indicates that many people want to understand how they can provide stronger evidence in the Success Profiles framework and prepare themselves for the modernisation and reform of the Civil Service.

To help us prepare, we have created a new series of Lunch and Learn capability events which will directly explore each individual behaviour under the Success Profiles Framework. We will breakdown what is being asked for in that behaviour, particularly in the context of job applications and interviews.

These behaviour writing tips can be applied to most generalist roles between grade AO – G7 and should give you the confidence to strengthen any behaviours that you have already formulated or the behaviours that you plan to write.

In this Lunch and Learn workshop, we will be tackling Seeing the Big Picture behaviour.
