Civil Service Jobs and Opportunities through the Going Forward into Employment scheme Going Forward into Employment (GFiE) is a scheme specifically aimed at removing employment barriers associated with the application process, and helping individuals build necessary skills & experiences for a fulfilling career in the Civil Service.

It can offer you direct placements into a Civil Service role, or a short-term internship which can lead to a Fixed Term Appointment.

This event is open to all military Service leavers and Veterans, as well as Spouses and Partners of individuals who meet the following criteria:
  • Still serving but currently in your resettlement period.
Or
  • Have served in the Armed Forces for at least 1 year.
  • Be within 5 years of leaving the Armed Forces
  • Be within 10 years of leaving the Armed Forces if you were Medically Discharged
Or
  • The Spouse or Partner of someone meeting the above criteria.
We’d love for you to join us, learn new skills and bring your experience to our organisation. We believe that everyone has the potential to make a difference, and want to ensure that all our staff are equipped with the knowledge and skills to do so. As part of your employment, you’ll have access to a range of learning and development opportunities, as well as a buddy who can help you to understand the Civil Service and make the most of the opportunities that are available.
