2. About Civil Service Employee Policy
As the centre of expertise for all Civil Service employee policies, over the last five years we've developed a wide range of essential policies to support departments. These policies have been driven by a variety of factors, including legislative changes, national events and business transformation needs.
In addition to producing policies that support departments, we have also adapted to meet our customers’ changing needs and now provide a range of expert partnering services. These include our Pay and Reward service, TUPE consultation and Job Evaluation to name but a few.
This combination of policies and services makes CSEP a truly interesting and exciting place to work.

4. Job Roles in CSEP
Job roles in CS Employee Policy broadly fall into the following groups:
Policy
Communications both written and verbal are key in this job role as it involves developing best practice and fit for purpose policies on behalf of Departments, either in response to legislative changes or to meet the requirements of the Civil Service Employee Framework.
In CS Employee Policy, policies are divided into three different clusters depending on their stage in the career lifecycle. Cluster one covers policies relating to joining and leaving the Civil Service, for example, apprenticeships, Cluster two covers all at work policies, for example, performance management and Cluster three covers policies relating to being away from work, such as shared parental leave.
The role extends beyond policy development to providing implementation support to our customers.
Strategic Services
These roles can involve analysing trends, giving departments clear strategic direction, providing support to develop and deliver their own strategies, and providing expert and quality HR guidance.
The support is delivered through a number of specialist services and includes CSHR Casework, CSHR MI Hub, Disability and Inclusion, Expert Consultancy Service (ECS), Employee Relations Service (ERS), Job Evaluation, Pay and Reward, Stakeholder Engagement and Insight, and TUPE/COSoP.
