The assessment process will take the format of sift based on your supporting statement and CV (max. 4 pages), as well as an interview based on the experiences and the behaviours set out in this advert. There may be additional assessment activities for particular roles in order to best test candidate fit. The Civil Service recruits using a framework called Success Profiles. This means for each role we advertise, we consider what you will need to demonstrate in order to be successful. All finance job descriptions set out the experience we are looking for candidates to demonstrate in their applications, and the behaviours we will be testing at interview stage. Certain roles also require you to be part- or fully-finance qualified; this is listed under the ‘Technical’ section. Your qualification history should be set out as part of your written application.

​

The list of behaviours and what they mean at each grade is provided here.
