Grade 6 Digital, Data and Technology Personal Statement Examples

Digital, Data and Technology criteria vary between vacancies. A strong example should follow the wording in the advert and show Grade 6 accountability rather than relying on a generic statement about being experienced or strategic.

The best evidence uses one clear example for each criterion. It names the role and setting, explains the applicant’s personal responsibility, gives specific actions and ends with a result that proves the criterion.

What Grade 6 digital, data and technology criteria can look like

• Experience of leading digital service delivery or transformation
• Ability to use data to improve performance and decision making
• Experience of making technology investment decisions

Use the exact wording from your vacancy as the heading where possible. The examples on this page show common types of requirement, not a universal list used for every Grade 6 role.

What your digital, data and technology example needs to show

• the service or organisational outcome
• the technology or data choice
• how users, specialists and risks shaped the decision
• the measurable benefit

Why a strong digital, data and technology answer works

A strong answer gives the sifter evidence of using digital, data and technology choices to improve public outcomes while managing accessibility, security, delivery and whole-life value. It identifies the applicant’s personal judgement and makes the wider consequence visible. A weak answer usually labels the applicant as experienced, strategic or influential without showing the decision, scale or result.
