The Recruitment Team manages the recruitment of all Home Office Senior Civil Servants (SCS) and Public Appointees (appointments made by Ministers or the Queen to Home Office sponsored public bodies or public offices).

Home Office usually advertises between 15-30 SCS roles externally on an annual basis.

These are the most senior roles in the department, many of which will have a high public profile and/or be in specialist fields such as commercial, programme management and digital.

Home Office is responsible for over 190 public appointments.

These include Her Majesty’s Inspectors of Constabulary, the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, the Biometrics Commissioner, Chair and Board Members of the Gangmasters Licensing Authority, the Disclosure and Barring Service, the Security Industry Authority and the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs.

All posts have to be filled on merit via fair and open competition so, where there is no possibility of re-appointment for existing post holders, an external competition has to be run.

On average 10-20 public appointment campaigns are run within a 12 month period.
