Government Economic Service

Working as an economist in the Civil Service, you will be putting your economic learning to direct use by influencing high profile public policies with the best possible economic analysis.

This is an exciting time to be joining the Civil Service. With continuous professional support, you will prepare vital briefings for ministers or the public, provide advice on policy options, and ensure the quality and appropriate use of economic statistics.

Government departments recruit economists throughout the year on Civil Service Jobs. In addition to this, the GES runs 5 central recruitment schemes:

A level students: Degree Level Apprenticeship Programme

University students: Summer Student Scheme & Sandwich Student Placement Scheme

Graduates: Fast Stream Scheme & Assistant Economist Scheme
