Working For Us

Stabilisation Unit looks to a number of sources to provide staffing and expertise, both for the London office and overseas deployments.  We maintain our own database of Deployable Civilian Experts, we use certain providers with their own databases of experts and our core staff are made up of Civil Servants from our parent Departments and other UK Government Departments.

Deployable Civilian Experts (DCEs)

We are currently going through a process of restructuring our DCE database and so unfortunately we are unable to consider any applications at the moment. Work should be completed by the end of Summer 2008.

Framework Agreements

In October 2007, Stabilisation Unit signed a number of Framework Agreements with providers of consultants to supplement our own database of DCEs.  These cover services in Governance, Justice and Peace-building; Social Development; and Public Administration Reform. Framework agreements are arrangements whereby providers are selected in advance to be able to provide a range of services over time, and with many of the conditions (such as fee rates and quality standards) pre-defined, from which specific projects can then be quickly commissioned as they are required.  Please visit the Stabilisation Unit framework agreements webpage in order to find out more information.

Civil Servants

We advertise a large number of our staff vacancies within the systems of all our parent Departments and via the Civil Service Recruitment gateway.

Work Placements and Students

We really appreciate your interest in working with us, but unfortunately, due to security pressures we are not in a position to offer short-term work placements
