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).

Pension changes apply to the scheme, not to a particular vacancy, so they will not appear in any advert. Treat the scheme as part of the package when you compare roles — it is usually the largest part of public-sector reward that never shows up in the salary line.
