Civil Service Fast Stream

Jamie

Hello everybody,

I am new to the CIPD community and would just like to introduce myself. My name is Jamie. I currently work in the Civil Service and am on the Civil Service Fast Stream. This is a graduate programme which allows somebody to reach the upper echelons of management at a quicker rate. I chose the HR fast stream as I enjoy helping others and competed the CIPD level 3 as part of my resettlement package when I left the Army. So far I have only been in my first placement for a few weeks, but I am being kept very busy in a brand new team that looks after the HR needs of all of the Senior Civil Servants in my department. During this programme I will also be completing the CIPD level 7 qualification, and so will be able to apply for a senior management role in HR within the Civil Service in 3 years.

So, if anyone has any questions about the Civil Service Fast Stream or the CIPD level 7 (after I begin), then I will be happy to answer them.

Thanks

Jamie

  • This is so inspiring did you go to the army straight after graduation?

    Does that mean you can apply for graduate schemes anytime you want in the civil service??? As i am doing my masters in HRM but would like to work in the military for 5 years or so then join the civil service after. Is that possible doing the 3 year programme 6 years after my graduation?

    Hi Webster,

    No I graduated whilst still in the Army. I decided that I needed a career change and chose HR based on some friends opinions (who were HR business partners) and the fact that the profession interested me.

    Military service is not the same as Civil Service in the way that I am working now. But I have found that military service has given me many transferable skills that have helped me on the civil service fast stream.

    It’s your choice on whatever path you take. I hope it works out for you too.

    Thank you so much for your response. However I do want to work in the civil service, but I would like to work in HR in the army whilst training to be a soldier. I'm assuming you was a soldier too. How long did you serve? As i am finishing my masters degree in human resource management I graduate next year 2019. I just want experience first and I was wondering did you have to move into the army or did they allow you to commute? As i got a nice flat I wouldn't want to to give up.......
