Employees in all positions of the public sector are valued by the public for the service that they offer, which is widely considered to be for the good of society in general.
There are vacancies in the public sector for individuals with experience in areas that include social work, accountancy, urban planning, law, horticulture and leisure services. Experienced candidates are expected to perform duties pertinent to their position and with the professionalism that the general public respects.
Trades people working for the government need to be qualified in their particular field and preferably in possession of on-the-job NVQ certificates. Accountants, lawyers and urban planners, for example, should have a degree in their subject as well as affiliation with relevant professional bodies such as the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants in the case of the former.
Job holders in this field tend to be based in the big urban districts and cities of the UK. Yearly salaries range from around £12,500 a year for trainee horticultural workers to a maximum of £60,000 per annum for a care home manager.
