Do I need to work at DFID, MoD or FCO to stand a chance of getting on the Cadre?
No. We want people from a variety of different roles which is why we are publicising this throughout the Civil Service. The types of role are: • Generalist will encompass leadership roles, mentoring central or local government officials, general Project and Programme Management, Stabilisation leaders (at SCS level), secretariat posts and administrative support. • Advisors will provide strategy, policy direction and Programme Advice based around 15 key areas; • Specialists will deliver niche capability – so if you are for example a statistician, election monitor or accountant, we may need your expertise. So if your background and experience fits into any of these areas we would encourage you to apply. There is more information on these roles in the annexes which accompany the application form guidance notes.
