The Northern Ireland Civil Service supports the Northern Ireland Executive by delivering the priority commitments set out in its Programme for Government and economic and investment strategies. You’ll join the Service at middle manager level and, during your time on the programme, will gain experience in a variety of roles, covering issues and policies that make a real difference to the people of Northern Ireland. You could potentially find yourself working on policy, operations or finance or in direct support of Ministers.

The Fast Stream is the Civil Service’s graduate development programme. It is ranked among the top five Times Top 100 Graduate Employers – and with good reason. Preparing you for life as a senior leader in the Civil Service, the Fast Stream allows you to be part of solving the big issues and to have a real impact on the way the country is run.

During your time on the Fast Stream, you will move between contrasting roles and will typically gain some exposure to policy work as well as well as operational delivery. There are opportunities to work across the full range of government responsibilities, including education, health, the environment, the economy, transport, welfare, defence, justice, industry, and much more.

Whether you’re improving people’s employment prospects, widening access to public services, defending the country against natural disasters, or even shaping the future of the Civil Service itself, as a Fast Streamer you will always be taking the lead.

To become a Northern Ireland Fast Streamer, you’ll need at least a 2:2 degree (achieved or expected). You should also have a strong interest in Northern Ireland and in making a positive contribution to both its present and its future.
