What Scottish Government is recruiting for

GovJobs is currently tracking 15 open vacancies at Scottish Government. The biggest groups are digital and IT (3), engineering and maintenance (2) and finance (1). 15 of them were advertised in the last 30 days. Roles are spread across 4 named locations.

13 of these adverts publish a salary. The median advertised starting figure is £49,401, and the published range runs from £34,936 to £114,714. That is above the £34,440 median across Civil Service roles on GovJobs.

13 offer remote or hybrid working. Their adverts typically stay open for about 24 days, so it is worth checking back rather than waiting for a monthly look.

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

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 Scottish Government

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 Scottish Government’s own advert, where you apply directly.
