Wanted: more civil servants

With Government borrowing soaring, is the Public Sector gravy train about to grind to a halt? Not a bit of it. The Civil Service jobs website is currently advertising an historically weighty 214 vacancies, including Insolvency Support Officers at the, er, Insolvency Service; Research Knowledge Brokers and a Research Uptake Team Leader at the Department for International Development; an Architecture Assurance Manager at National Savings and Investments; a Welsh Translator at HM Revenue & Customs and a Head of Finance Professionalism (sic) at HM Treasury.
Happy days!

A unique opportunity (again)

Another day, another high-profile vacancy in public sector banking. This time, the Government is seeking a successor to Paul Spencer as chairman of National Savings & Investments, the state-owned bank that's an executive agency of HM Treasury.
"NS&I occupies a unique position in British public life," the job ad entices - which is one way of looking at it. Sadly, banks controlled from 1 Horse Guards Road are now decidedly less unique than they once were.
