What Ministry of Justice is recruiting for

GovJobs is currently tracking 198 open vacancies at Ministry of Justice. The biggest groups are administration (22), legal and governance (8) and catering and cleaning (7). 198 of them were advertised in the last 30 days. Roles are spread across 12 named locations.

128 of these adverts publish a salary. The median advertised starting figure is £36,287, and the published range runs from £24,645 to £91,540. That is broadly in line with the £37,417 median across Civil Service roles on GovJobs.

4 full-time, 194 part-time, 104 fixed-term and 88 permanent roles are advertised here.

These figures are calculated from the vacancies GovJobs holds for Ministry of Justice 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 Ministry of Justice

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 Ministry of Justice’s own advert, where you apply directly.
