What Department for Transport is recruiting for

GovJobs is currently tracking 14 open vacancies at Department for Transport. The biggest groups are digital and IT (7), planning and environment (1) and legal and governance (1). 14 of them were advertised in the last 30 days. Roles are spread across 5 named locations.

14 of these adverts publish a salary. The median advertised starting figure is £44,241, and the published range runs from £35,663 to £62,034. That is above the £37,417 median across Civil Service roles on GovJobs.

14 full-time, 1 fixed-term and 12 permanent roles are advertised here, and 11 offer remote or hybrid working.

These figures are calculated from the vacancies GovJobs holds for Department for Transport today, not from published workforce statistics, and they change as adverts open and close. We collect them from Adzuna.

How pay works at a central government body

Civil Service pay is set by grade — from Administrative Officer up through Executive Officer, the Higher and Senior Executive Officer grades, and the Grade 7/6 and Senior Civil Service tiers. Each department sets its own ranges within its pay remit, so the same grade pays differently across departments, and London roles carry a separate national/London range.

How to apply to Department for Transport

Recruitment runs on Success Profiles: a mix of behaviours, strengths, experience, technical skills and ability, with the advert stating which apply and which are lead criteria. Behaviour examples are written to the published framework at the level of the grade advertised, normally in STAR form. The sift is anonymised, so what counts is the evidence, not where you worked.

GovJobs never takes the application itself — every listing above links to Department for Transport’s own advert, where you apply directly.
