The 2024 UK Civil Service Fast Stream
Applications for the UK Civil Service 2024 Fast Stream will open on 12 October and close on 9 November 2023.
This year’s Fast Stream again offers 15 possible Streams, including 2 new Streams in:
- GOVERNMENT POLICY (a re-badging of the Generalist stream perhaps), and
- OPERATIONAL DELIVERY
There’s no CV or cover letter required: applicants register their interest and select up to four Streams in their application. They then face two separate online assessments ahead of attendance at a Fast Stream Assessment Centre (FSAC).
Fast Stream Social Mobility Network Events
The Fast Stream Social Mobility network is running a number of 45 minute events to offer students an insight into the Civil Service Fast Stream. Events will profile a wide array of speakers from differing grades, departments (see below) and professions (from policy to project delivery to science and engineering), talking about their current role and career (for 15-20 minutes) with an opportunity for a Q&A session with the students at the end.
The full list of events from the Fast Stream Social Mobility Network University Co-leads are here. All events will be held virtually. To sign up, please fill out your details on the events signup form and they will provide you with the joining links.
