There may be more than one location listed on the
advert.
In this case, you will be asked for your your location
preferences (from those available in the vacancy)
telling us where you would prefer to work if you are
successful. The number of options will be highlighted
in the advert. Please do not select a location unless
you are prepared to accept a role in that location.
Selection for appointment to the Civil Service is on
merit, on the basis of fair and open competition, as
outlined in the Civil Service Commission's Recruitment
Principles
here.
Job offers made will be in merit order and there is a
possibility that your preferred locations may no longer
be available depending on your position on the merit
list. If none of your location preferences remain at
the point we make a job offer, DWP will try to offer
you a role from available locations within a reasonable
daily travelling distance of your home. If we are
unable to offer you a role in your preferred location
or an alternative location in reasonable daily
travelling distance of your home, we will add you to a
reserve list.
