Use these role-specific application guides when you already know the type of Civil Service job you are targeting. Each role hub brings together the application guidance, personal statement examples, behaviour examples, CV and previous skills guidance, and interview preparation for that role.
Always check the vacancy advert first. The grade and assessment methods still control what evidence you need to provide, while the role guides help you focus that evidence on the work the vacancy is asking you to do.

Use the role guide with the vacancy advert
The role hub should narrow your preparation, not replace the advert. Check the essential criteria, grade, Success Profile elements and any technical requirements in the vacancy, then use the relevant role guide to build evidence that matches those requirements.
