Public-sector hiring right now

GovJobs is tracking 11,336 open public-sector vacancies today, 6,557 of them added in the past seven days. Across the adverts that publish a salary, the median advertised starting figure is £32,909.

The organisations recruiting most heavily right now are Ministry of Justice (198), Highland Council (195), Leicestershire County Council (172) and East Sussex County Council (126).

Geographically the roles cluster in Scotland (1,715), North West (1,634), South East (1,210), London (1,127).

Recruitment announcements tend to lead the adverts by weeks or months. Rather than waiting for a campaign to open, a saved search on public-sector roles will tell you when the postings actually appear.

These figures are counted from the GovJobs index at the time you loaded this page, not from official statistics, and they change daily. They are our own analysis and are not part of the announcement summarised above.
